Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Giving up is unforgivable.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

So many bastards, so little time.

This fight is for everything.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

How stupid are these people?

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Should Have Seen This Coming

I guess now that Saddam is in captivity, I should have seen this coming. The NY Times gives seom front p[age web coverage to yet another pop psychology voyage in the “Bush and his daddy vs. the evil Hussein.”

They have a team of monkeys working at the Times? Jeebus. Good thing Krugman is on vacation- I am not sure how the hell he would have spun Saddam’s capture as bad for the economy.
