Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

    I voted, honest! But I draw the line at carting the laptop around the ‘hood until I find an unsecured wireless network.

    Which is probably why RS will win.

    And I think there might be advantages if they did win.

    1. They’d be too busy celebrating to post about anything other than how cool they are.
    2. They might overdose on the source of their secret powers.
    3. There’s a chance I might one day go to a bar and overhear a pasty-faced wart telling some hapless female that his blog won the best of whatever in 2007.
    4. If (for example) RS wins and Malkin doesn’t, Outer Wingnuttia might be roiled by civil war and hair pulling.

    I haven’t been carting my laptop around the neighborhood, but on the days when I’m on campus, I’m voting from my office computer, from the computer in one of my classrooms, and from my laptop. That’s not unethical, is it?

    If we give Giuliani’s campaign the heads up we can make that a 911 vote lead.

    Please. Also vote for the Van Der Galien Gazette for best European blog. Pulease. If you don’t you’re, let me think, well, bringing about socialized medicine!

    According to the folks at SN! at least one right-wing contender is now saying he didn’t really want to win, he was just pretending to want to win so he could watch the stoopid libruls freak out.

    Too bad GWB isn’t quite that immature.

    A site with “I READ THESE MORON SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO” has the type of wit to get me through the day and is worth a vote. Blue Victory in Virginia and victory in the poll. Representative democracy at work, I voted and voted often.

    Gee, I really didn’t expect my “Ghahhhh!” comment to be deleted. Can you tell me why it was dumped. Offensive? Off topic? What?

    But what is really wild is you dumped the comment that shows you blegged for votes on dkos. Ashamed of all that support from the, “Screw Them America is the real terrorists!”, crowd?

    Wimp

    Note from Michael: Howie, I didn’t dump the comment, and I honestly don’t know what happened. I checked the moderation queue, and I don’t see it there either. In fact, unless you are pimping v|@gr@, I don’t touch the comments. In any case, I’m sorry that happened.

    Huh? I’ll ask Michael about that. I haven’t deleted or edited a comment in almost a year, except one and it wasn’t you.

    I saw the Gahh comment in the spam filter and approved it. I am not sure what is going on. His subsequent comments are going through without hitting the filter, so that is proof I approved it.

    Howie, you might be thinking about this comment. Apparently we have a lot of wizbang-related posts at the moment. And no shame.

    Krista: I can vouch for the accuracy of the test. I took it, showed I’m Dutch. A Dutch co-blogger took it, Dutch as well, etc. etc.

    If you don’t you’re, let me think, well, bringing about socialized medicine!

    Just to be clear, is there any particular opponent we should vote for to bring about socialized medicine? Or will voting for any of your opponents do it?

    Thanks! Appreciated

    I’m an opportunist. If it’s socialized medicine you want, vote for me! We Dutch are experts at it.

    […] To the top! BTW, if you haven’t voted lately consider tossing some votes to the Jawa Report instead because (1) I feel responsible for getting them bumped from the conservative category, and (2) nobody seems to know what happened to one of their comments here. […]
