Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

People are weird.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

So many bastards, so little time.

So very ready.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The revolution will be supervised.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Charles Colson

Weird. Just the other day I asked if the Charles Colson that is featured at “Just Us” Sunday II was the Watergate Charles Colson (I had no idea, really), and the NY Times goes out and writes up a piece on him.

    I’d love to hate the Born Again (his poor mother!) Colson.

    But he is sincerely passionate about relieving the plight of people trapped in the hell of prison, and while I may not care much for the branding of his methods, I applaud the fact that he works his ass off to help the powerless. I can find nothing dishonest or self-serving about the man, a rare thing in these times.

    What a disgrace that the MSM’s anti-Nixon jihad ever deprived this fine, fine man of freedom.

    If seeing the Light did not equate in today’s US to renewal of GOP vows …

    The pardoned ex-cons who concern me more are the Abrams, MacFarlanes, Poindexters, Liddys etc. It’s one thing to pardon them but it’s another thing to re-hire and promote them.

    And some born again(TM)s who concern me more than Colson are JD Guckert T DeLay and GW Bush. Blasphemy bothers me.

    Is a secular Republican necessarily a RINO?
