Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Cole is on a roll !

In after Baud. Damn.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

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

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Come on, man.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Bad Company

What do Charlie Rangel and Al Jazeera have in common?

United States Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY): The U.S. acted illegally when its soldiers attacked and killed Uday and Qusay Hussein, a leading Democratic congressman complained on Tuesday, before mocking the military maneuver that succeeded in eliminating the brutal duo.

“We have a law on the books that the United States should not be assassinating anybody,” Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes.”

Al Jazeera Correspondent: Not all the reaction was positive, however. The correspondent for Al Jazeera, the Arab satellite television network that has been a staunch critic of the war, described the two men as having been killed “in cold blood,” and one analyst brought on to comment called the method of their deaths a “crime.”

Apparently, this is the new strategy to win back the red states for the Democrats. Hurts to watch, doesn’t it? Meanwhile, even the ARAB NEWS editorializes in favor of the death of these two villains:

That Uday and Qusay Hussein are dead is a victory for the Americans and, far more important, a victory for the Iraqi people. Both needed the break.

    Heard Hannity’s radio show, and he played this. Part of Rangel’s justification of the assassination statement was that we hadn’t really declared war. A woman called in and said that Congressman Rangel often touts his service in the Korean War.

    Of course, Korea was not a declared war, either. Does that make Rangel an assassin?
