Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Bark louder, little dog.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

“But what about the lurkers?”

    Any chance Jon Stewart will release the entire interview of last night’s smack-down of DoughBob LoadPants?

    They have it up over at The Daily Show site. Stewart said the the interview lasted 18 minutes but they only had time for 6. There was a lot of beeps in the last few minutes, so… It was more of the same – Goldberg getting called on his bullshit and unable to defend it. I really hope they release the whole 18 minutes unedited. Let’s start an e-mail campaign.

    It’s the Airline’s policy to never imply ownership, so we have to use the indefinite article “a” dildo, never “your” dildo.

    God, Fight Club is a great movie.

    Wow. That made my morning. They need to release all 18 minutes.

    Highlight:

    Jon Stewart: “I don’t know what you’re saying!”

    He agrees with Tucker Carlson.

    My god, I hope so. That interview was epic. I liked how as it jumped from clip to clip, you could see Stewart slowly collapsing in shock at the sheer stupidity. By the end, I think he was clinging to his desk.

    On the topic of the Pantload v Stewart; the doughy one has fallen back on a classic wingnut defense tactic–namely peddling such an overwhelming load of bullshit that you can’t figure out where to start with your rebuttal. They then take you speechlessness as a sign that they have beaten you.

    I would’ve liked to have seen Jon Stewart say something about fascism being the merging of the corporation and the state, with the populace being essentially just cogs in the wheels, but hey, he is a comedian. I’ve been taken aback bby a dumptruck load of stupidity once or twice myself and formulating a counterattack can be difficult.

    Stewart was definitely rolling in the last few minutes though.

    I say John Cole, Sadly, No!, Instaputz, FireDogLake, etc… should all start posting pleas for the release of the whole 18 minutes. How ’bout it?

    You know, it’s probably unfair to ask this question, but…

    Is it possible that John McCain’s Vietnam war injuries were self-inflicted?

    I would say no chance of that. I am guessing that the massive obvious editing job was to keep Jon from looking even more like the clueless dense empty suit he is.
    Screaming at a (blank) wall

    In the hell freezing over category, a post on a fem-blog that I agree with.
    Breaking news: Bisexuality exists!
    I am guessing that the study is valid as the Lancet report. But I can live with deluding myself if more young naive attractive woman buy into it.

    Anybody see George doing the Sword Dance (sic) with his Saudi master? No, no not holding that sword. That was later.
