Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Accountability, motherfuckers.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

This fight is for everything.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Smoking Gun?

by John Cole|  March 10, 20034:21 pm| 5 Comments

This post is in: Foreign Affairs

Someone please define what exactly a smoking gun is, and what will actually constitute material breach of UN Resolution 1441. I want to discuss this issue in good faith, but it is clear to me that I simply do not understand the terms of the debate.

Calpundit and Howard Dean

by John Cole|  March 10, 20034:19 pm| 1 Comment

This post is in: Domestic Politics

Howard Dean was on Meet the Press yesterday, and I was not particularly impressed (I love the fact that they show it again at night on CNBC so I can watch all the Sunday shows). At any rate, Kevin Drum states what he sees as the problem with Dean’s message:

I caught a few minutes of Meet the Press, where he appeared, and he seemed pretty uncomfortable with the subject.

In fairness, I think this really is one of those cases where the liberal position is hard to articulate. Why should we care what France thinks? Still, if Dean’s position is that this is a problem that needs broad international support to be resolved successfully

I Often Wonder

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

If Bill Clinton can open his mouth without lying.

Mr. President, with all due respect, the reason we have a huge projected deficit this year is because we are not cutting homeland security and the litany of other spending issues you discussed.

I have decided I am against the complete repeal of the dividend tax, at least for the time being, but do you have to lie about everything?
