Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Come on, man.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

So many bastards, so little time.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Cole is on a roll !

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Some Perspective

Every time you wonder why things in the Middle East can’t settle down, you read something like this and it adds some perspective:

Mr. Abbas held talks last week in Gaza with members of Palestinian factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, whose spokesman said they were committed to the calm, but that they reserved the right to retaliate against any Israeli attacks.

A Palestinian Interior Ministry statement today urged factions to refrain from firing rockets, saying it only served narrow, individual agendas and not the public interest. It was referring to the firing of a rocket from a Palestinian area in the northern Gaza Strip near Beit Lahia into the Jewish settlement of Duganit.

Israeli officials say the Palestinian Authority is not doing enough. Comments by the Palestinian foreign minister, Nasser al-Kidwa, released on Saturday and broadcast originally on Voice of Palestine, that weapons would not be collected as long as the Israeli occupation was in place drew criticism today.

Our narrow political factions send lots of loot to a centralized location to fund political campaigns and advertising. Their ‘narrow’ factions fire rockets indiscriminately.
