Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

We will not go back.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

I really should read my own blog.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Enjoy your virgins:

The head of the Islamic Jihad military wing in the West Bank city of Jenin was killed Tuesday in a gunfight with Israeli troops, witnesses said.

The gunfight in the town of Qabatiya, which lasted several hours, killed two Palestinians and wounded five others, according to witnesses. One Israeli soldier was lightly injured, the army said.

One of those killed was Morwah Kamil, 25, the head of the Islamic Jihad military wing in Jenin, witnesses said. The army said it entered the village searching for a senior Palestinian fugitive.

So much for the cease-fire.

    What cease fire? The Palestinians have been violating it all along. Abbas cannot control the terrorist groups, and the people want Hamas in charge. They are their own worst enemy.

    Meh. Both sides have violated various cease-fires so many times that I no longer can keep track of whether something is a retaliation or an initiated action.

    A pox on both of their houses.

    Twenty-five. Is that the normal age for someone in the position he held? Or have the older one’s been attrited to the point they are forced to reach way down in the ranks?
