Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

A consequence of cucumbers

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The revolution will be supervised.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Second rate reporter says what?

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Excellent Piece

An excellent piece on Joe Lieberman by Big Media Matt. The notion that the fringe liberals think he is a traitor is just absurd.

    Joe Lieberman is a whiny JEW (but I like the fact that he is an environmentalist)!!! Americans THINK!!
    If we keep letting shady JEWS slip into Washinton, no matter how liberal or progressive they are, it is only a matter of time before they side with thier fellow neocons (JEWS) and lead us into an Israel related WWIII (it wont be the JEWS out there on the front line folks!).
    Mark my words! If Lieberman were to really give his two cents he would have a rock solid alliance w/ Wolfowitz and all the rest of the president controlling KIKES!
    ARYANS! Dont let the JEW control YOU!!

    HEIL HITLER!

    Interesting. It’s also interesting that a fair number of the blogs in the Link you posted below to the Schiavo issue call for Lieberman’s defeat in the Connecticut primary. In fact, several of them have specifically referred to him as a “traitor.” But maybe you don’t consider atrios and the like as “fringe.”

    I think they are right on this issue, Terry. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    Well I think the Democratic “fringe” in this case cares less about voting records (Dean was a pro gun centrist who happened to be unburdened with voting for the Iraq resoltion) and more to do with the perception that Lieberman and other DLC Democrats have a tendency to be more outspoken against the grassroots of the party than they are against what are percieved to be the excesses of the Republican party.

    It would be akin to a Republican politician constantly denigrating the religious right. Or at least, it would be akin to the religious right seeing a Republican politician as speeking out more against them than the Democrats.

    You’re precisely correct, and the proof of this is in the grassroots’ support for Senator Reid, a much more centrist politician than Senator Lieberman.

    A centrist/conservative Dem is fine as long as they don’t think its cool to stab the party in the back. This is Lieberman’s sin.

    Lieberman’s got great positions on the issues, a lot of the more liberal democrat’s problems with him stem from his readiness to go on FoxNews and talk about compromise for the sake of compromise.

    It’s probably the same issue a lot of reps have with McCain, the fact that they both do their own thing for their own personal glorification

    Oliver, perhaps Lieberman’s idea of ‘who’ the Democratic Party is varies with yours, ergo the stabbing as you referred to it. I’m on the other team but I see Joe Lieberman as more of a real democrat than many of the people that currently hold leadership positions in the party.
