Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The willow is too close to the house.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The revolution will be supervised.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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….
