Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans in disarray!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The willow is too close to the house.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

In my day, never was longer.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Their Own Worst Enemy

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

Tacitus is right– every time I have my doubts about the Republican party and Bush, one of the ‘moderate’ Democrats pipes up and reminds me why I have a hard time embracing the Democratic party.

    The ingenious thing is how they mix in good ideas with totally looney ideas. Securing the homeland sounds good. Energy independence? The moonbats would die of apoplexy, if we started using nuclear. I could go on. If Kos is the mouthpiece for Dems in the “blogworld”, then the GOP should have problem with elections.

    “Secure the homeland.”

    Right. Pull all of our troops stationed in foreign lands back here, set them up on our borders, lock down the international airports… no one with dark skin or a strange name can enter; shell any vessel approaching our shores……

    That ought to do it. Oh, then eliminate trade with the rest of the planet; “Buy American!”

    Um, John, considering that the first sentence of Kos’ post said he was fairly impressed with Arianna Huffington’s book, i guess i have to ask what would’ve made you keep reading after that?

    Arianna Huffington is a political
    opportunist. She used to be a
    republican. What she wants is to
    be known. I am surprised that any
    democrat would take her seriously.
