Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

This blog will pay for itself.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Quagmire Alert

The NY Times is just dying for another Viet Nam- so much so that they continue to give the ‘Q-word’ lip service, but they are not quite ready to unload it on the front page:

A week after President Bush’s speech seeking to rally support for the campaign in Iraq, the nation appears increasingly anxious about the war effort and worried that the United States may be trapped in an adventure from which there is no evident exit, according to interviews during the last five days with Americans across the nation, historians, social scientists and pollsters.

Some people went so far as to suggest a comparison with an earlier military action that had an unhappy history: the war in Vietnam.

The ‘paper of record,’ sounding like a broken record. Why do we have to debunk the same damn story every three weeks?
