Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

I was promised a recession.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Medicare Quip of the Night

I am glad to report that somebody managed tofind something mildly amusing about the completely unfunny GOP Vote Buying Scheme of 2003 Prescription Drug Benefit. Craig Kilborn quipped tonight:

Experts claim that over the next two decades, the Prescription Drug Benefit could cost as much as $2 trillion. And that’s just for Rush Limbaugh…

I chuckled.

    OT:

    HEY Cole looks like that Democratic intelligence committee memo may have been stolen. Since the Repubs aren’t above stealing memos from judiciary committee members it wouldn’t suprise me if they stole the one intelligence committee memo.

    The truly sad thing is that number might not really be that outragous.

    I guess that joke’s going around, John. Conan said, and I quote from memory, “This morning, Congress passed a Medicare prescription drug benefit. 40 million people will now have access to the same drugs as Rush Limbaugh.”

    On the Fox NFL pregame show, Jimmy Johnson was talking about the Eagles winning streak and he said something like “all of the people who were criticizing Donovan McNabb are either in hiding or in rehab”.

    I laughed at that one too, since even though I lean to the right, I’m no fan of Rush.
