Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republicans in disarray!

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

In my day, never was longer.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

75% of people clapping liked the show!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

In after Baud. Damn.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Forged Documents

A reader wrote in with a very interesting question:

“Why would anyone forge the documents?”

Why, indeed? Whowould forge them is just as good a question. That, to me, rather than whether or not the President and his staff relied on British intelligence for a line in the SOTU address, seems to be the reall issue.

    Motive? Who paid for them? Why were they paying for them? What did the intend to accomplish? Etc.

    I am sure money was involved.

    Slate has a rundown; it looks like someone assumed (probably correctly) that a second-string intelligence agency would pay cash money for them.

    I’m Sorry I Missed This

    Chris Matthews, obviously channeling his inner Tim Russert (with a splash of Bill O’Reilly?), eviscerated Dennis Kucinich the other night….
