Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

This blog will pay for itself.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

When I was faster i was always behind.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When we show up, we win.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Something to Mock

I am posting this Robert Scheer piece from the LA Times only because it has not received the level of derision and mockery that it richly deserves:

Is it conceivable that Al Qaeda, as defined by President Bush as the center of a vast and well-organized international terrorist conspiracy, does not exist?

To even raise the question amid all the officially inspired hysteria is heretical, especially in the context of the U.S. media’s supine acceptance of administration claims relating to national security. Yet a brilliant new BBC film produced by one of Britain’s leading documentary filmmakers systematically challenges this and many other accepted articles of faith in the so-called war on terror.

My head hurts already.

    Actually, it’s always smart to consider these possibilities…for example: What if Saddam has no WMD’s and he’s just been bluffing?

    However, when you see these coming from people like Scheer it’s ludicrous.

    Precisely. and what if, no doubt, 300k maniquins were buried in the desert of iraq? and liberals didn’t like handouts? and dogs didn’t like pissing on lamp posts? all this could be true, too, in the fairy tail world of msm.
