Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I really should read my own blog.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

The Conservative Movement ‘Grows’

This is too damned rich:

Blond porn star, political candidate. And now you can add one more line to Mary Carey’s resume: Republican booster.

Carey was in Washington Tuesday to attend the President’s Dinner, an annual fundraiser put on by the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

A few hours before the dinner, Carey met with reporters to show off her evening gown and talk about a Republican lunch she and her boss, adult film executive Mark Kulkis, attended.

“I met a lot of nice people,” Carey said of the lunch, where presidential adviser Karl Rove spoke. “I met some people who talked about helping me with donating money to my next campaign.”

She plans to run for lieutenant governor of California next year as an independent. But her trip to Washington has swayed Carey’s political leanings. She says she’s been a Republican “for a couple of days.”

Phillis Schlafly probably just went out back and shot herself.

    No doubt that she saw the yogurt picture of Dick Cheney and was hoping to “run in” to him ;-)

    If Phyllis Schlafly can handle having a gay son, she can manage Mary Carey. (Maybe she’s part of a planned “cure”?!)
