Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Come on, man.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Books are my comfort food!

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

You cannot shame the shameless.

“Sessions and Pryor were on the home team.”

I am shocked, shocked to find out that Republicans refused to even investigate any of the GOP officials implicated along with Don Siegelman in Alabama. Using law enforcement to promote your political agenda would be illegal.

    the legality of something is relevant only to the extent that the law is enforced.

    someone like Leahy writing another stern letter ? meh. that’s not really enforcement.

    the legality of something is relevant only to the extent that the law is enforced.

    Ah, the modern GOP doctrine of law-and-order. You aren’t guilty until you are convicted by an all-Republican Jury with a Republican-appointed Judge through a Republican DA. And you retroactively become not-guilty when the President pardons you.

    If the Republicans say you are innocent, legally speaking, who’s to argue? I’m surprised they even let Democrats practice law, what with them legally being wrong all the time. Can’t we just let the Decider make the decisions on this sort of thing?

    “I do not have a recollection of the amounts that you describe as having been contributed by Lanny Young or his associates to my campaign,” Pryor wrote in an e-mail to TIME.

    I used to think Reagan was unlucky when he got Alzys. Now, it’s clear. Just being a Republican period leads to severe memory loss, and ultimately, I’m guessing, Alzheimer’s…

    Unfortunately, my response at this point is “so what?” The Democratic leadership is going to ask for documents relating to this case, the Justice Department will refuse to turn them over, and nothing will ultimately come of it because Lindsay Lohan will get out of rehab right around the time this stuff starts peaking.

    Punchy,

    Hey! Maybe we will get lucky and the repubs will forget to vote in 2008!

    Actually I am shocked. I never realized just how much these guys revered Stalin.

    Yeah, the appalling part is that nothing will come of it. There are no Republican office holders with any principle or Democratic officeholders with any balls. This is the kind of corruption that used to be associated with third world kleptocracies like Zaire.

    I think there are more Democrats with balls than there are Republicans with principles but those Democrats with cajones are still to few and not in leadership positions. While those Republicans with principles are quiting to go write books and reminisce about the good-ole-days.

    Yeah, the appalling part is that nothing will come of it.

    That’s not quite true guys. Requesting documents pertaining to illegal activity is one thing, but when that illegal activity puts someone behind bars, that’s quite another. Regardless of whether Congressional Democrats want documents are not, a forum will remain for the case as long as Siegelman continues to appeal his conviction. The publicity is different.
