Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

How stupid are these people?

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Stand up, dammit!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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.
