Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

So many bastards, so little time.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

In after Baud. Damn.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Let’s finish the job.

    In fact, we were about to issue subpoenas then and one of the senators came to our meeting and said that the vice president had met with the Republican senators and told them they were not allowed to issue subpoenas.

    Not quite sure that’s my understanding of the separation of powers, but it seemed to work at that time.

    Cheney then told everyone in the room to drop trow and bend over. When the Republican Judicary Committee was seen seated on pillow cushions during the following day’s testimony, one reporter asked Mr. Specter, “Why did you do it?”

    “Well, I wanted to be respectful of the Vice President’s office. But by and large I deplore the act of sodomy and would vocally oppose it, if I didn’t also have Dick’s dick down my throat.”

    Spectering, not just confined to Pennsylvania anymore. Seems that pretty much every Dem. has mastered the art beautifully. See FISA, Iraq, well just about everything since Jan 07. Specter created, Dems perfected. In fact, how many times has Leahy claimed he is going to get to the bottom of this now. Why don’t you just go ahead and move that deadline back again and save us from having to listen to your bullshit.

    Less talk. More action. In fact, no talk, all action would be fine.

    A hundred years from now people are going to look at this period and assume both sides of the aisle was afflicted with some strange degenerative disease that destroyed the spine and atrophied the balls.
