Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

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

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Books are my comfort food!

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

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

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

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

That Is Better

Credit where credit is due- this statement from the FRC is a touch more appropriate than Dobson’s declaration yesterday:

Family Research Council thanks Justice O’Connor, the first woman on the United States Supreme Court, for her nearly twenty-four years of public service.

“The Family Research Council often found itself on the opposite side of her most controversial decisions,” said Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council.

“This past week Justice O’Connor sided with judicial activists and ruled against the display of the Ten Commandments on public property in two cases before the high court that have offended the values of a great segment of the American public.

A slight improvement.

    From the FRC press release linked above:

    FRC can motivate significant grassroots support for the President’s nominees. We will wage an unprecedented effort for a fair and prompt up or down vote through the mobilization of 20,000 churches across the nation, weekly conference calls in targeted states, the strengthening of the FRC team and activation of grassroots through http://www.frc.org “

    Can we be assured that the 20,000 churches mobilized for political action will voluntarily give up their tax exempt status to indulge in politics? Following the letter of the law without deviation (strict constructionist) is what they want demand from judges so I assume they will live up to their own standards.

    Those Dobsonites can’t get anything right, can they?

    Justice O’Connor’s “public service” record is a lot longer than 24 years; her service did not begin with a Supreme Court appointment. Arizonans, like me, remember her as the first Majority Leader in the Arizona State Legislature. Her very admirable record as lawmaker and judge would be worthy of note even without the appointment to the highest court in the land.

    Dobson is an ass.
