Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

We still have time to mess this up!

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Let there be snark.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Yesterday I gave you the Dobson Test, today I add the Perkins Proof:

If the FRC’s Tony Perkins is hoppping mad about something, it is a good thing.

Witness:

One conservative group called the decision devastating.

“The Ten Commandments have played a crucial role in shaping the values and legal system of the United States and of all Western Civilization as is evident in many of the buildings here in Washington. In fact, the Supreme Court building itself boasts three different displays,” said Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council.

“This ruling by the Supreme Court is not only denigrating to our culture but it undermines the very laws we already have in place. Forbidding the Ten Commandments opens the door to hostility toward religion, which is contrary to the free exercise clause of the 1st Amendment.

Perkins called the Kentucky ruling

    “The Ten Commandments have played a crucial role in shaping the values and legal system of the United States and of all Western Civilization as is evident in many of the buildings here in Washington.

    As is also evident in federal laws against polytheism, cursing, and adultery, for example. Oh, wait, I must be posting from a parallel universe.

    As is evident in many of the buildings here in Washington? “In our next class we will discuss the influence of Corinthian columns on Western values over the past two centuries. . .”
