Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans in disarray!

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

We’re not going back!

Come on, man.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

This post is in: General Stupidity

If I were a vile anti-semite, and I am not- I think I am about as pro-Israel and pro-Jewish as the son of a West Virginia Quaker/Baptist union can possibly be, I might suggest that the ENORMOUS hullabaloo over Easterbrook’s stupid remarks (and even dumber apology) could be used as proof that the Jews are in fact running everything.

At any rate, the politcally correct crowd now has Easterbrook’s head, and they don’t know what to do with it. I just wish next time they would aim for Arafat, Al Sharpton, or most anyone employed by the governments of Syria, Egypt, and Sauid Arabia. Greg Easterbrook was not the enemy, it appears- and I’m sure we all feel a little less comfortable expressing controversial opinions. Who needs the Patriot Act when everyone can be hyper-sensitive?

    Actually, the bloggers who first went after Easterbrook were on the conservative side, but even they agree that ESPN firing him was an overreaction, inspired either by political correctness or by Michael Eisner.

    Absolutely.

    His comments were deeply disgusting, but his apology was sincere, and that should’ve been the end of that, as far as I’m concerned.

    Esterbrook wasn’t fired for being an anti-Semite. Esterbrook was fired (and expunged) for criticizing his boss’s boss’s boss — the anti-Semitism charge was a convenient excuse.

    That whole “media consolidation” thing liberals have been bitching about for the past five years? Welcome to the terrordrome, kids.

    Not only is Michael Eisner an asshole. He is a rich left-wing asshole.
