Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Republicans in disarray!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

The National Guard is not Batman.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

In after Baud. Damn.

White supremacy is terrorism.

We still have time to mess this up!

Cats and Dogs

Kos at the Daily Kos and I find something we agree about:

Okay, Mark Fabiani is being quoted as a Clark “spokesman”. Fabiani was Gore’s deputy campaign manager for communications, so he’ll probably reprise that role for Clark.

And remember Chris Lehane, who I called an asshole yesterday? Remember how I hoped he wouldn’t end up on the Clark campaign, because he was such an asshole?

The only thing I would add is the Clymer qualifier- Lehane is a Major-League Asshole. He represents EVERYTHING that is wrong with politics, and history will not judge him well.

*** Update ***

And just like that, Kos goes off the deep end again. I guess he just came up for air with the Lehane remarks.

    I think it’s just the “stopped clock” perspective, John. Take a look at his latest post — proof Bush lied! I love it.

    “Take a look at his latest post — proof Bush lied! I love it.”

    For myself, I feel for the poor bastard who pointed out that, no, it isn’t – then had to spend umpteen dozen posts reiterating the point. It takes a certain amount of grit (not to mention integrity) to legitimately defend a person that you don’t like: a pity that RG’ll probably never see this kudos.

    I love the update, where poor Kotz (it’s German, look it up ;) ) is introduced to the difference between “including” and “only”.

    “Well, so he didn’t *really* lie, but that’s just proof how Evil those VRWC RepubliKKKans are with their tricky wordings and stuff… We hateses them… *pout*”

    Had me rolling in the floor, that one.

    Those comments are great! Taking the meaning of “is” to whole new levels. From what some of them are saying, youda thought Bush was standing on top of the White House shouting about how Iraq was involved with 9/11 and is now going back on it.
