Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

A consequence of cucumbers

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Let there be snark.

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

No one could have predicted…

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The revolution will be supervised.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Like I Said

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

Yesterday, I dismissed Oliver and other left-winger’s attempts at distorting Rumsfeld’s words for short-term political gain in ham-handed attacks on the administration. The idiotic attacks continue today, but, as I stated, they are simply distorting Rumsfeld and making something out of nothing.

Which, I guess, is to bexpected. At any rate, if you don’t believe me, ask Robert Tagorda.

(Kudos to the Political Animal for noting this)

    Idiotic? Hardly.

    John Cole calls me idiotic for repeating Rumsfeld’s statement “It’s quite clear to me that we do not have a coherent approach to [terror].” Cole’s inability to argue civilly aside, context doesn’t invalidate the criticism, it simply complicates it. The…

    Right Is Wrong, News At 11

    John Cole says that I intentionally didn’t read Sr. Rummy’s comments (read the full transcript) when I posted this story. John’s quibble is that the “we” in question doesn’t mean America, but rather the coalition. Excuse me? Are we not…
