Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

When we show up, we win.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

It’s a doggy dog world.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

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

Pat Sajak has a question:

Somewhere in the world, a filmmaker creates a short documentary that chronicles what he perceives as the excesses of anti-abortion activists. An anti-abortion zealot reacts to the film by killing the filmmaker in broad daylight and stabbing anti-abortion tracts onto his body. How does the Hollywood community react to this atrocity? Would there be angry protests? Candlelight vigils? Outraged letters and columns and articles? Awards named in honor of their fallen comrade? Demands for justice? Calls for protection of artistic freedom? It

    Now that was one acidic statement.
    Hollywood’s silence is more eloquent than any of it’s statements.

    One issue is that the Republican Party has so politicized the US security situation that merely noting that Islamic terror exists can be seen as endorsing US policy toward it.

    I don’t think it’s fear for one’s self — it’s fear for ones politics, among many other things (the distance, the “dog bites man” aspect, et cetera).

    The ritual pointing of the finger at the Republicans aside, I think Kimmitt is on to something. The Hollywood crowd is being quiet because they feel speaking up would help George W. Bush, and not helping George W. Bush is more important than anything else in the world to them.

    You guys might want to check out alicublog.com for Adroso’s research into past racist & sexist remarks made by Mr. Van Gogh. Sure, few deserve to die the way he did, but not everyone who makes film deserves a Hollywood sendoff.
