Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Republicans in disarray!

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

In after Baud. Damn.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

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

Seatbelts, Please

Comparisons like this make me almost blow a gasket:

As demonstrators cheer the restoration of democracy to their beleaguered country, Ohio officials continue to deny it.

In the face of obvious fraud, Ukraine’s Supreme Court has thrown out an apparent coup for the incumbent and ordered a new election. That’s what needs to happen here.

But despite growing national pressure and a major demonstration scheduled for tomorrow, Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell continues to stonewall a true recount in the state that allegedly gave George W. Bush another term.

Reverend Jesse Jackson and Congressman John Conyers will be among the speakers at a statehouse rally tomorrow demanding explanations for apparent irregularities in the November 2 Ohio vote…

The litany of apparent theft, fraud and manipulation surrounding the Ohio vote is growing with each passing day.

Which leads to the ultimate question: if Ukraine can get a new election, why can’t we?

Because massivewidespread vote fixing, intimidation, and ballot stuffing is the same as a few long lines and inaccurate initial reports.

Really- they are the same.

It is too bad we can not put the loony left progressives and the Falwell wing of the Republican party on a boat, send it out to sea, and then sink it.

    The best thing about characterizing all of these suits as pointless is that it allows you (and Slartibartfast) to seamlessly segue into “The Democrats will recount the votes until they win” when our side starts winning. It’s Orwellian, but it’s good Orwell. Two thumbs up.

    It seems that sinking the boat at sea is a waste of a perfectly good boat… is there a way to just dump the occupants?
