Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

This fight is for everything.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

    I am not an expert on the subject, but isn’t there a slight difference between the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea? I think that there us a marked difference between the balmy waters of the Gulf and those of the North Sea. And as we have heard from all of the global warming alarmists, warmer water fuels hurricanes.

    Though one could probably say that spending money to protect New Orleans would be less of a waste than London and Amsterdam have made, the fact remains that when Katrina hit New Orleans, it was a Category 4 storm. I don’t recall any sort of quantification of strength from the article as a basis for comparison.

    I’ve been saying for days now that when it comes time to rebuild New Orleans, we should get some top Dutch civil engineers and give them the money to do things right. They’ve got to be the world’s leading experts on living below sea level.

    Yeah, but the point is that I think that the nature of their storms is much different. They don’t call the Carribean (sic.) “Hurricane Alley” for nothing.
