Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Republicans in disarray!

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The willow is too close to the house.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

People are weird.

    Hear about the latest kids who killed a hobo for fun and profit and are now saying violent video games did it?

    Turns out one of the kids was pretty much a system bending sociopath to start with

    I feel bad, mostly because i’m pretty sure a good thrashing or two would have had the kid scared of getting caught by authoritah that saw through him instead of authoritah he could play and use against everyone else.

    pharniel,

    That’s no coincidence, those rich cocksuckers have been actively working towards this for some time… here’s a bit more death tax repeal history for you:

    18 families worth a total of $185.5 billion have financed and coordinated a 10-year effort to repeal the estate tax, a move that would collectively net them a windfall of $71.6 billion.
    […]
    The report profiles the families and their businesses, which include the families behind Wal-Mart, Gallo wine, Campbell’s soup, and Mars Inc., maker of M&Ms. Collectively, the list includes the first- and third-largest privately held companies in the United States, the richest family in Alabama and the world’s largest retailer

    Looks like The Rugs want nukes, or at least highly purified fissile material by which to make coffee or run their Blackberrys.

    We’re SOOOO about to bomb their sorry misbehavin’ asses…

    The doctor is in:

    As we finish the last two years of Bush’s Presidency, we are witnessing “end stage” Bush Derangement Syndrome, which manifests itself by the histrionic and blind hatred of anything the President does or does not do.

    This “end stage” BDS–like terminal syphilis–has culminated in blindness combined with an insanity so profound, the consequences to those who suffer it–as well as to our country–will likely be quite profound, if not lethal, since they hinder and undermine this country’s ability to deal with real threats.

    Read the whole thing for your moonbat diagnosis. You’ve got syphilis!
