Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republicans in disarray!

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

No one could have predicted…

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I really should read my own blog.

Bark louder, little dog.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Tarrists It Is, Then

GOS*:

Here we have evidence that the issue wasn’t a killer — traditional Democratic issues trumped immigration — while Republican demonization of those scary brown people will kill their long-term electoral prospects by alienating key, fast-growing, immigrant communities.

In other words, while the issue is a certain long-term loser, it doesn’t even have short term benefits for the GOP.

Huh. If immigration proves to be a loser, healthcare is poison and Iraq is radioactive, what do yo suppose they will run on?

Other than Osama Bin Hitlery I mean.

    Wow! If the terrorists make all the straight people marry a homosexual, I don’t think there will be enough gays and lesbians to go around, unless of course we get multiple wives/husbands. Which means the terrorists want gay polygamy/polyandry! Yea! I’ll do my part… let’s see… I could start by marrying Jodie Foster, Julia Stiles, Jessica Alba, Kiera Knightley, and go from there!

    My theory – call me out if you disagree.

    The name, concept and dynasty Clinton has the same vibes for the right as the equivalents of Reagan has for the left.

    We are talking juju so bad it kills cockroaches. We are talking a sense of “wrongness” one usually only feels when watching that scene where Cartman eats the skin off of everyone’s KFC.

    It is in both cases a mix of the substantial and the ephemeral that goes straight for the limbic system, and it is a trigger for utmost antagonism that can inspire a right-wing tsunami of cooperation and information-hijacking, despite disagreements within the pack.

    Um, you know, folks — now that Robertson is endorsing Giuliani, I’m thinking that the theme will indeed be “9/11 — GAYS (caused it) — 9/11 — GAY MARRIAGE (caused it)”.

    Her husband, and the penis attached thereto. Beyond that, what else do they need?

    I hear they released that with music done by Nine Inch Beards, it was a riff on Nine Inch Nails “Closer” with the signature lyric being “I wanna fuck you like an Infidel”.

    Ooooh! Oooooh! I know! I know!

    They’ll mention Reagan in every single campaign speech. From now until 11/2008, expect to hear “Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan Reagan.”

    And some more stuff about Reagan.

    Ya know, back in the day, when Rudy was mayor (and I still lived in NY) I remember the righties from the south and Midwest gettin’ all tweaked about Jew York City and Rudy Jew-liani. I guess 9/11 changed everything.

    This is why I love being a dem. My principles may shift but I stand for all of them, not just pick and choose.

    That is not to say I stick to the stupidity that was the idea of “Jew York City” etc. I just remember hearing it called that.

    So the tarrists want Mitt … I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that K-Lo and Osama would have this in common.

    No one, but *no one* thinks more about “homersekshual butt secks” than a fundamentalist.

    Heck, I don’t think the most flamboyant gay drag queen living in bathhouses in SF thinks about it as much as the fundies do.

    Projection much?
