Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Let there be snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Too funny for words.

I would just add that European neo-fascist groups accusing American Islamophobes of creeping leftism because they don’t also hate Jews probably won’t show up as a data point in the next edition of Jonah Goldberg’s book.

    In fairness, are there *any* data points in Jonah’s book?

    No worries. JLoad has painstakingly explained … nothing. But what is central to his point is that fascists are liberals and vice-versa. So having already established that the neo-fascists are liberals, this will become another example of name calling by the horrible no good very bad liberals.

    And of course, the neo-fascists are using the term “leftist” in the “classical” sense and the natural heirs of the “Classical Left” are of course modern day American Conservatives.

    QED and pass the Cheetos!

    I guess when your world view is divided into two neat groups — “Me” and “Not Me” — it’s pretty easy to say that communism equals socialism equals liberalism equals fascism equals vegetarianism equals “It Takes a Village.”

    Come to think of it, “Not Me” was in the Family Circus, which is probably too sophisticated for Jonah.

    Maybe his mommy helped him with that, too.

    A quick summary could have been usefull. Here’s what I could gather (because it’s my day off and I have time to spare):

    A British wingnut nicknamed Lionheart living in the USA is wanted by the police in the UK. Lionheart claims he is wanted for writing against the Islamic Jihad on his blog, which the police calls a hate crime. American wingnuts come to Lionheart’s defense (LGF, Jawa report) and freedom of expression. It is discovered Lionheart has some ties to the BNP, the British fascist party. The American wingnuts are worried about the BNP’s anti-semitism and ask Lionheart for some details. Lionheart goes hysterical and later apologise. The American wingnuts express express their worries publicly, but do not pull-out their support (I guess they need all the haters they can get). Lionheart (and his BNP supporters) goes hysterical again, takes back his previous apology and goes on to call the American wingnut bloggers traitors and leftists. A flame war follows. We laugh.

    One last note, no one really knows what Lionheart is being really accused of. It is VERY DOUBTFUL he is wanted for his writings only. There’s many vocal BNP supporters in Britain and none are getting arrested. It’s obvious Lionheart has done something nasty and the stupid wingnut bloggers just got suckered in.

    Let’s see, before long right-wing Jews who support the anti-Islamo-Jehadi-fascists will be joined by the European right wing who hate Jews, so Jewish right-wingers will end up hating themselves. Got it.

    This is too rich, really. You’ll find this brilliant quote here:

    I’m no political purist. If douchebags want to jump on the anti-Islamist bandwagon I welcome the douchebags as allies. In politics there are no friends, only allies.

    In other words, the anti-Islam crusade turns away NO one, including racists and anti-Semites. And Rusty types this on his blog, for all the world to see. And somehow everyone over there misses the fact that if racists and anti-Semites are your allies, then there’s something wrong with you.

    Actually, the folks at Sadly, No! took the time to contact the British Police and found out that they do intend to arrest him for his racist ranting/writing.

    Anti-Muslim bigotry is the last socially acceptable form of that undying energy. It never goes away, it just gets re-cylced in a new form. The right-wing has adopted Jews as their new little brothers, conveniently ignoring the fact that until recently they were keeping them out of their clubs.

    Since it’s ok for both to hate Muslims, no one really complains, witness Pipes, Podhoretz, Coulter et al., and Malkin, Trevino, RedState on the blogs.

    There i nothing inconsistent about being far right and embracing (some) Jews as little brothers. Even a shortl look at Kabbalah will convince you of that. Where else can you go to be Hollywood-trendy while relegating 98% of your fellow Americans to subhuman status?

    Better yet, where else can you to have Madonna think you her cultural inferior?

    Not that it matters to most folks, but it’s LYING down with dogs, not LAYING. No one gets this right anymore. You LAY something down. You LIE down. You LIE on the bed, not lay.

    Just my ongoing writer’s frustration coming out.

    I think some of these people may be LAYING down with dogs as well.

    Funny, apt, and more than likely true. Nicely done.
