Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

All hail the time of the bunny!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

“But what about the lurkers?”

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

So many bastards, so little time.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

This blog will pay for itself.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

Every time I read these ham-handed attacks, I am flabbergasted:

Washington, DC, Sep. 10 (UPI) — Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said more than a dozen times Friday that President Bush had lied to the American public.

“It has become crystal clear that the president has lied to the American public about his military service,” McAuliffe said.

“What were they covering up?” he added. “This White House makes the Nixon White House look like it was open, honest and trustworthy.”

But even as he launched the DNC’s third day of accusations that the president was untruthful about whether he fulfilled his duties in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, McAuliffe said the he called the president a liar only reluctantly.

“This is painful for me to have to sit here — stand here today and to say the president of the United States lied,” he said.

“But you know what? I’m not doing this for me. I’m not doing this for the Democratic Party. I’m doing this for every American whose life has been adversely affected” by the Bush administration.

All I have to say about military service. Bill Clinton

I hope they keep getting more and more strident and obnoxious. I predict the polls will go 3-4 more points towards Bush in the next few days.

    Poor Terry. The pain he goes through, just ’cause he loves us so much. He’s so brave.

    Yeah, poor Terry. Seems like his “Messiah” complex is beginning to be too much for him to bear…
