Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Petty moves from a petty man.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

This really is a full service blog.

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

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Come on, man.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

You have Much to Learn, Kagame

Meet the new Rwandan President, same as the old Rwandan President:

President Paul Kagame will remain in office for another seven years, according to returns tonight in Rwanda’s presidential election.

With all ballots tallied, Mr. Kagame had 94.3 percent of the vote, according to a preliminary count.

He has held the job since 2001 as part of a transitional government set up after the frenzy of ethnic violence nine years ago in which Hutu extremists killed 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutu.

You have a lot to learn, Mr. Kagame. Saddam got close to 100% of the vote.

Seriously, I am not sure how good or bad Kagame is, but let me state that I have a hard time accepting any election results where ANY candidate gets over 90% of the vote. Thatt is, IMHO, not a “big democratic step that has been taken by our country,” as the President elect stated. It tells me something stinks.
