Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

After roe, women are no longer free.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

This fight is for everything.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

A ruling I can agree with:

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the government does not have to release 11-year-old photographs from the suicide of Clinton administration White House lawyer Vincent Foster because it would cause his family pain and intrude on their privacy.

The unanimous decision makes it more difficult to use a public records law to access federal law enforcement records from autopsies and death scenes. Justices said the privacy rights of survivors must be balanced against the public’s right to information.

A California attorney had sought the Foster pictures, saying they might prove he was murdered as part of a White House cover-up. There was no reasonable evidence of that, the Supreme Court said.

Hopefully, the statement that there is no reasonable evidence of a cover-up will end the speculation that he was murdered. Will these sick bastards finally let him rest in peace and leave his poor family alone? I hate the tin-foil hat crowd, whatever their politics. And yes, dears- that includes the “War for Oil” and “Bush/Hitler” crowd.

    Not sure how you can dismiss the War for Oil crowd so easily. I mean, Blair just started shagging Ghadafi to get BP a $1 billion oil contract. In case you’re not down with oil production numbers, Iraq’s reserves are a leetle bit bigger than Libya’s. Money can make people do all sorts of things…

    “I mean, Blair just started shagging Ghadafi to get BP a $1 billion oil contract.”

    OK, that’s a mental image that I *really* could have lived without.

    Your expecting logic and reason to penetrate the tin foil hats? Me thinks your expectations are way too high for those folks.

    Agreed. Reminds also of the stupid tabloid paper that wanted the photo sof Dale Earnhardt after his fatal crash. Gross and disgusting.
