Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

When we show up, we win.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

We will not go back.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Kudos To Dan Drezner

Congratulations to Dan Drezner, whose response to Matt Yglesias’s idiotic postings on the Bush visit to Baghdad were far classier than mine, but managed to essentially say the same thing. I am not apologizing for my postings- they were and are spot-on and deserved, but it is nice to see Dan can be a touch more patient than I can be in these situations.

    MATTHEW YGLESIAS: BUSH IRAQ VISIT = BAD

    Go look at these two childish posts from Matthew Yglesias. About as transparently whiny as you would expect from someone so blinded by partisan politics that he wouldn’t know good from bad if it kicked him in the face. Dictionary.com…

    Beating the left is too easy

    Daniel Drezner takes Matthew Yglesias to task for the insipid complaining about Bush’s visit to Iraq. found at John Cole’s site, which also does a pretty fine job of dragging the idea of “leftist intellectualism” through the mud….
