Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

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

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

People are weird.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans don’t trust women.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A consequence of cucumbers

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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?
