Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

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

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

In after Baud. Damn.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

This really is a full service blog.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Watched a few more episodes of the Wire, and right now I put it up there with Boomtown, which is my all-time favorite cop show.

This is better than the Sopranos. Better than Oz.

    Boomtown was also an excellent show. A real shame that it was so short-lived. It is available on DVD as well.

    Boomtown was good until it abandoned its central idea of presenting the story from different viewpoints and became just another run-of-the-mill cop-and-DA show. I wasn’t surprised it didn’t survive long after that.
