Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

He really is that stupid.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Let’s finish the job.

Everybody saw this coming.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Let there be snark.

Are All Democrats Now Insane?

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

While the Republicans have thrown out all of their principles and have now become the new Democrats, spending irresponsibly and greedily creating the Prescription Drug entitlement as a new Republican vote-buying scheme, the Democrats appear to have thrown out all of their senses. For months, Democrats have been flailing about, attacking blindly, taking partisan cheapshots, and generally behaving like mean-spirited, unprincipled, snot-nosed teenagers who just had their pet Congress taken away. Apparently, this is not a phemonenon that is limited to national politics, and Democrats have become nuts EVERYWHERE:

As Gov. Mitt Romney basked yesterday in newfound hero status over his role in rescuing a family whose boat sank in Lake Winnipesaukee, irked Democrats tried to torpedo his big splash with partisan politics.

After the Herald reported the GOP governor’s rescue effort, Romney found himself in a media frenzy, including national TV headlines.

But some Democrats complained that Romney was vacationing while lawmakers debate vetoes he imposed cutting dozens of human service programs.

“There are lots of people drowning in the commonwealth right now who would certainly welcome a rescue,” said Rep. Jay R. Kaufman (D-Lexington).

They have just gone plain mad.

(Via Right Wing News)

*** Update ***

Compare Mitt Romney’s behavior in the water rescue to the senior Senator from the same state. And Democrats are pissed about Romney. Snicker.

    The Democratic reaction to Romney reminds me of a line LBJ used: “If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read PRESIDENT CAN’T SWIM.”

    Morons.

    I’m not entirely clear here: politicans are “plain mad” because they are — what is the term? Oh, yes. Partisan.

    Well, yes, indeed, that certainly is mad, and, of course, entirely confined to one side of the political spectrum. On the other, we have only statesmen such as Tom Delay, Grover Nyquist, Karl Rove, and commentators such as Ann Coulter.

    Clearly these Democrats are indeed “mad,” and entirely different from sane Republicans.

    Clearly.

    Gary- There is a difference between being partisan and being a lunatic- the man helped to save 6 lives, and the Dems are trying to pisss all over it and turn it into a political issue.

    And I also think Delay is nuts.

    BTW, Gary- the nuttiness of the attacks from the Democrats is making me reflexively defensive about Bush- and ther man has done a NUMBER of things that really irritate me. IF they would calm down and quit trying to turn EVERYTHING he does or says (see “Bring em ON) into the biggest scandal ever, they would have much more traction. As it is, I just laugh them off- and Bush may or may not be getting away with murder because of the lunacy of the left.

    I have to agree with John Cole on this one. (lightning strikes my head, tinfoil helmet grounds it out).

    The Democrats are the masters of the tame, tepid, and timid rhetoric.

    I can’t watch Dainty Dashle on TV without wanting to slap him Don Corleone style, “You can act like a MAN! What’s the matter with you!”

    This a fighter? Kaufman will probably apologise. And tear up on TV.

    Did I wake up in Bizarro world? Barney agrees with John?

    But it is hard to disagree with the lunacy of this particular partisan attack.

    He agreed, yes, but he then followed it up with:

    The Democrats are the masters of the tame, tepid, and timid rhetoric.

    I’d discount anything he said before or after something like that. Guilt by association, dontcha know.

    Of Rabid Dogs and Frenchmen

    Yet another reason why there are no real electable Democratic candidates in the fray: Core Democrats have an emotional investment in the idea that George W. Bush is an idiot; if conservatives believe they are conservative because they have more common …

    Heartless Republicans

    So Governor Mitt Romney (R, MA) is on vacation in New Hampshire and helps rescue six people and a dog from a sinking boat in Lake Winnipesaukee over the weekend.
