Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

We still have time to mess this up!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You cannot shame the shameless.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

You cannot love your country only when you win.

“Alexa, change the president.”

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

No wonder the uber-partisan Democrats hate Mickey Kaus. Look at what he has to say about Kerry:

As a Democrat, I have two big fears about John Kerry. The first is that he’ll lose. The second is that he’ll win. Let’s take the second possibility first. One reason Kerry might lose, after all, is an inchoate public intuition that he would not be a successful president…

Kaus then notes that Kerry does not work or play well with others, has no political courage, no vision, and no ability to sell his ideas.

Sounds like Kaus will be voting for Bush, right?

Wrong.

Seriously, though- if that is what Kerry supporters (even marginal ones) are saying,it is going to be a long couple of months.
