Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

“Alexa, change the president.”

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

We still have time to mess this up!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Apology

by John Cole|  November 17, 20037:49 pm| 1 Comment

This post is in: General Stupidity

If the post below this does not signal how frustrated I can get, sometimes the tone and tenor of my posts does- and many times they get out of control. After cooling down and some correspondence, I would like to issue an apology to Kevin Drum and Mark Kleiman for the abusive tone of this post. Even if I thought they were not shooting straight on the issue at hand, there was simply no excuse for my behavior and actions. I am sorry, and I feel particularly bad about my treatment of Kevin, who has never been anything but decent to me. My apologies.
