Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

If you are still in the GOP, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Let’s finish the job.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

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

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

I really should read my own blog.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The willow is too close to the house.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Liar. Just a Damned Liar.

The Cleland lie continues on, this time from Kevin Drum:

The White House cynically proposed a union-busting plan for the Department of Homeland Security designed solely to arouse Democratic opposition. The President told cheering audiences that Senate Democrats didn’t care about the security of the country and campaigned tirelessly even against congressmen who had supported him. In Georgia, Max Cleland was likened to Osama bin Laden.

Ask Paul Begala.

    This type of bs is why I can no longer read Drum. He’s bought “fake but accurate” hook line and sinker.

    That wasn’t the only lie:

    The President told cheering audiences that Senate Democrats didn’t care about the security of the country

    That’s not what he said. He said “the Senate” in referring to them being more concerned about bickering over special interests than getting the bill passed.

    Wait until Daschle loses in South Dakota.

    He’ll join Cleland, McCain and Kerry in the “they attacked our patriotism” meme.
