Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Consistently wrong since 2002

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

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

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Amusing

Here is a quick test to tell if you have succumbed to irrational Bush Hatred. Read your posts back to yourself, and if it sounds like something Maureen Dowd wrote after two cosmopolitans, you are an irrational Bush hater. Check out this ridiculousness:

Sopranos Finale

I think last night’s episode sort of made up for a rather slow and lackluster season. All-in-all the decision-making reminded me of the Bush administration interagency process. As one of the captains said, “I’m willing to die for a good cause, but this is bullshit.” Meanwhile, the fearless leaders stuffs his face with ice cream while dreaming of Rommel.

It’s all there- projection, distortion, and contempt, all wrapped up in a condescending wrapper of references to pop culture.

BTW- that wasn’t written by Dowd. That was written by the ‘moderate’ Matt Yglesias (who, btw, went to Harvard), and is really smart- just ask him. At anyrate, Dowd would probably need more than two cosmopolitans before writing that crap.
