Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The willow is too close to the house.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Second rate reporter says what?

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

No one could have predicted…

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

Oliver has a long-winded screed that is yet another version of the “Democrats need to fight like Republicans” or “Finally Democrats are fighting back” genre, and we learn some fascinating things:

– The Right is whining

– Oliver is still mad about Florida (“partially because of the method in which he gained his office”)

– September 11th was a major event

– Afghanistan was warranted (though Bush should be given no credit)

– Democrats are bipartisan (Republicans aren’t)

– Rumsfeld and Cheney have been planning to invade Iraq since 1976

– All of Ted Kennedy’s legislation that has been passed by Bush has ‘fizzled’

– Democrats are United (someone tell the DLC)

– Democrats are finally attacking (giggle)

– Bush’s foreign policy and national security policies are foolish or lies. Take your pick.

– Democrats need to fight, fight, fight.

    Throw in some skin scans of some skanks & O-Dub can take a few weeks off, as you’ve got his blog covered for quite some time. :)

    yeah… your blog could really benefit by a little partisan objectification skin pics to give it the true flavor of Clintonista politics… like Olivers… ;)
