Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Let me file that under fuck it.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Come on, man.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

    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.
