Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

He really is that stupid.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

White supremacy is terrorism.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

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

    I’ve always thought a bipartisan ticket had great potential for ’08.

    Over/under on how long before we see a pic of Sean Hannity getting a lap dance from Helen Thomas?

    Great minds think alike. What is so surprising?

    Two hucksters, made for each other.

    Lovely couple.

    It’s not every day when Ann Coulter can be in a picture with someone and be less repulsive than the person she’s with.

    I’m still waiting for the pic of Coulter and Moore. And he’s in a tux. And she’s in a wedding gown. Some day…

    A couple of showbiz pros specializing in uninformed extremism, who play their audience for saps. Makes sense to me.

    Those two are emblematic of everything that is wrong with today’s political discourse.

    You know, this does have a strong Star Wars relevance…

    …the images were artificially pasted onto the background.

    It’s as if millions of voices cried out “Hurry, burn that building down!”

    …and suddenly retched and turned silent.

    But yeah, they’re both total media whores, so it’s not really that surprising. Can you imagine what the conversation must’ve been like? My guess: It would’ve been comprised entirely of “[group of people] hate [other group of people/country/religion/whatever]” statements.

    “Liberals hate America.”
    “Republicans hate Blacks.”
    “Democrats hate Christianity.”
    “White politicians hate puppies”

    And so on.
