Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

“Alexa, change the president.”

In after Baud. Damn.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Scrappleface:

Daschle Announces Plan to ‘Have Ideas’
(2003-01-06) — In the Democrat response to President Bush’s weekly radio address, Sen. Tom Daschle, D-SD, announced a major break with the traditional methods of his party.

“In the coming weeks and months,” Sen. Daschle said, “Democrats will do more than just fight ideas that we think are wrong — we will propose policies we think are right.”

The Senator said he wasn’t sure where they would get these ideas, nor how to formulate policies, but “we’ll find out.”

Speaking of Atrios, I thought I had added him to my links. I am now, but I am warning you, though- prepare yourself. Visiting there is kinda like James Carville meets the X-Files. Andrea Harris summed it up nicely:

[DIS] Jesus, reading Atrios is like taking a mud bath. But not the healthy kind; the nasty, squidgy, cold, gets-in-your-personal spaces kind.
[/DIS]

All sorts of weirdo beliefs, sycophant commenters, and everything is a consipiracy theory. Check it out if you want to see what lefty libs believe but don’t want you to think they believe.

I also added Overspill, and I think you will also like ArchPundit. The Political State Report has been added as well, as have Henry Hank’s Crow Blog and Jay Caruso.

If there is anyone I have forgotten, please remind me. Tacitus. I forgot Tacitus. Fixed.

I just went and bought a replacement shower curtain liner (the bottom of the old one got the funk, so it was time to replace it. While I was at the store, I realized my only option for shower curtains and liners were for twelve holed ones. Why is this? Who decided that 12 was the right number of holes? Why is there no liberal outrage over lack of choice? Why not ten? I am sure Atrios will tell me it is a racist plot.

At any rate, I am curious as to why the standard is twelve. Weird.

How About Dem Stillers!!!!

I have no problem admitting I cried after that win. Well during it. Some of the tears were from pain, because when Fu scored to take the lead, I had been standing waving my terrible towel, and when he scored I jumped into the air and smashed my fingers on the stucco ceiling. The bleeding and swelling have stopped, but who cares. God, I love those boys. Thanks, guys.
