Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The willow is too close to the house.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Let there be snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Mister president, please stop punching yourself.

***Update***

And again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Our president is an assault rifle on full auto, aimed at himself.

    I’m getting whiplash from watching all the party-based 180s these guys keep doing.

    Fact Check Redux
    by hilzoy

    I can’t imagine what we did to deserve the level of dishonesty this administration has been throwing at us

    You must be new here. Welcome to America, macaca, or whatever your name is.

    The Joke Government still has two more years, folks.

    Fasten your safety belts and wear your helmets.

    Today’s Terror Threat Level is Orange! (HIGH)

    All Americans should continue to be vigilant, take notice of their surroundings, and report suspicious items or activities to local authorities immediately.

    From today’s Department of Homeland Security press release.

    Does the crap going on in the White House count as a suspicious activity?

    There’s this scary guy hanging around in the bushes at the White House. Call the SWAT team. Tell them to shoot to kill.

    How many billions poured into Homeland Security? What do we have to show for it? Color-coded days, petting zoos in Indiana protected from terrorist attack, and “Nobody could ever have imagined the levees breaking.”

    Yep, 9/11 changed everything.

    Remember folks, only Democrats can harm our nation. Republicans only do what is ‘right’. Therefore, it stands to reason that if the right is always right, the left must be wrong. Remember, black & white, got it?

    Mister president, please stop punching yourself.

    While it’s true that even his punctuation marks are lies, none of the fact checking and analysis has any effect on the “base”, and, being a professional pessimist, I don’t think it has much effect on most of the 72%. The pres speaks on TV with an audience of millions, and the fact checkers post to blogs; blogs that are generally not looked at by anybody but the already convinced. Please, Somebody refute this analysis and give me some hope.

    Not to mention the rest of us, too.

    I have often wondered if it’s not just a color coded billboard being controlled by admin flunkies playing Simon with a few extra buttons added just to make it harder

    The general threat level has been yellow (orange for flights) for about…forever.

    For a while the DC’s Metro ran announcements telling people to be on the look out for suspicious activity or people. Sure. In a public transportation system in a large urban area it’s reeaaal easy to pick out the suspicious folks. Just take the entire train.

    They don’t run those announcements any more.
