Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Cole is on a roll !

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Bark louder, little dog.

Consistently wrong since 2002

He really is that stupid.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

People are weird.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

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

I am not sure this is the type of regional stability we want to encourage, either:

Iranian Interior Minister Abdolvahed Musavi Lari, his counterpart from Iraq Bayan Baqir Jabr and the Syrian Minister of Interior Ghazi Kanan here on Wednesday called for tripartite cooperation on regional issues.

During a meeting, the three ministers discussed the procedure for implementing 20-point final statement issued by Iraqi neighboring states on Tuesday.

The ministers also examined ways of preventing illegal trafficking through the borders of the three countries.

The statement, issued at the end of the second session of Iraqi neighboring states in Istanbul on July 18-19, called for implementing UN Resolution 1546 on the legal procedure of formation of a government in Iraq and complete withdrawal of the occupying forces from the country.

The statement condemns global arrogance and terrorism in Iraq under any condition and calls upon the member states to assist the Iraqi government to establish security and tranquility in the country.

Although if all Iran, Syria, and Iraq are doing is issuing impotent statements condemning ‘global arrogance,’ it shouldn’t be a problem. Maybe this is their way of lobbying France for EU membership…

    Message to Syria and Iran: you’re next. When the situation in Iraq stablizes — hopefully by this fall — I fully expect a march on Tehran or Damascus. That ought to shut them up.

    Thought you would enjoy this 2003 tidbit from Ari:

    But there’s a bigger picture here, and this is what’s fundamental — the case for war against Iraq was based on the threat that Saddam Hussein posed because of his possession of weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological, and his efforts to reconstitute a nuclear program. In 1991, everybody in the world underestimated how close he was to getting a nuclear weapon. The case for going to war against Saddam is as just today as it was the day the President gave that speech.

    Funny how the the WH scrubbed it from their official site.

    actually, what will happen is that the US will march into Syria, then turn right around and invade Iraq again, overthrow the government (since its working with founding member of the Axis of Evil, Iran) and start all over with a brand new, clean slate occupation of Iraq that nobody can criticize because we haven’t screwed up the “new” occupation….yet.

    If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again?
