Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

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

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

    Don’t you mean the party of “Waaaah! [holds breath until blue]”?

    Oh wait, I’m forgetting that when DemoNcRats follow the rules it is called obstructionism, whining and possibly terrist coddling. When Republicans follow the rules it’s protecting the nation from depraved terrist coddling libruls.

    I don’t like to blog-whore, but this is a topic I just wrote two lengthy posts about, and I figure it’s more polite to link than to paste…

    “Votes and Vetoes and Filibusters, Oh My”


    and
    “Hold” On a Second…

    My position boils down two this: Reid and the Dems are wussing out by letting this bullshit go on. Strap on a pair and do something about it.

    But according to Glenn Reynolds, its the Democrats fault that nothing got done and this Congress has lower approval ratings than Bush.

    Time for the nuclear option.

    I have only one question: if the shoe were on the other foot, and 49 Senate Dems had blocked this many popular pieces of legislation, what do you suppose Senate Republicans would do about it?

    That’s not a rhetoric question; I’m genuinely curious. The GOP is awful at governing, but they’re great at whining. This report from Senate Dems documenting the problem is excellent, but if the circumstances were reversed, I can guarantee the Senate Republicans would do more than just issue a detailed report.

    The Republican Senators wouldn’t need to do much of anything. Bill O’ and Malkin and Limbaugh and the WSJ editorial board and Glenn Beck and David Broder and the rest of the gang would all pile on. Then the “middle grounders” like Tim Russert and Katie Couric would get “both sides of the story” and talk about why the Democrats can’t compromise.

    That’s the beauty. All that “upperdown vote” bullshit in ’05 would never have received any steam if FOX wasn’t making it headline news. Republican Senatorial speeches don’t ring any louder on CSPAN than Democratic Senatorial speeches. Republicans just happen to have free megaphones, in the form of a pantywaste press corps.

    Hmm, it looks like the Dems kept that powder nice and dry… For the Republicans to use.
