Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Looting

Clearly, we won the Civil war and lost the peace:

After the hurricane ended, the looting began.

Among the first targets, officials said, was the Charlotte Harbor Fire Department. Firefighters arrived early Saturday to find that their computers had been swiped in the night.

Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Robert Carpenter said his office is getting regular reports of looting from residents of the area’s many storm-wrecked neighborhoods. Carpenter said his officers are responding when able, but that they are saddled with more pressing demands, such as caring for survivors.

Seriously, though. If they are caught, they should do hard time.

    Looters who take advantage of a natural disaster ought to be shot.
