Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving up is unforgivable.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

He really is that stupid.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

So very ready.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

I really should read my own blog.

Let there be snark.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Trump should be leading, not lying.

People are weird.

More Idiocy

by John Cole|  January 6, 200512:31 pm| 11 Comments

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

FacebookTweetEmail

The Democrat Strategy to make Democrats appear attractive to mainstream voters marches forward with another keen approach at attracting voters. The new strategy?

Bitching about how much money Bush has personally donated to the Tsunami relief effort.

I’m serious- click the link. They have lost their minds with Bush hate.

    Why is Oliver bitching about Bush worse than you bitching about Oliver?

    Are you an idiot? Are you really incapable of figuring this out, or are you just trying to waste my time.

    Okay, I can see that this isn’t the right place for an argument. This must be abuse.

    Daryl- YOu see no difference between someone chastising the President because he gave too little to charity, and someone telling that person he is off kilter? No distinction whatsoever?

    John,

    Thanks for the more civil tone.

    Well, Oliver’s post seemed like petty sniping, and so did yours. I don’t see the big difference, except that Oliver was sniping at somebody newsworthy, while you were sniping at some blogger.

    Evidently, John, Daryl does not understand the difference. Evidently sniping is OK, sniping at sniping not. I guess.

    Evidently sniping is OK, sniping at sniping not. I guess.

    How should we categorize Daryl’s sniping about sniping about sniping …

    Oliver ought to stick to posting bikini photos until he can get the taste of bile out of his mouth for supporting the loser last November, though the antics of his party might delay the process.

    This is the first I’d heard of this; I don’t really read Willis.

    These sorts of pissing matches are silly — I’m a grad student, so I don’t have a lot to give. When I have a salary again, I’ll resume my previously reasonably high level of generousity.

    The only parameter by which it would be valid to evaluate Bush’s personal donation (of money that is, assuming that time devoted to the situation doesn’t count) would be by comparison with the amount of money donated by the aptly named Tides Foundation.
