Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

No Justins, No Peace

It’s the corruption, stupid.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

    *Clinton presses congressional Dems on gas-tax holiday*

    http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/15404.html#more-15404

    After several days of back and forth between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama over whether a summer-long elimination of the gas tax would help or hurt, Clinton took a hard line, asking her colleagues in Congress to take sides.

    “I believe it would be important to get every member of Congress on record,” Clinton told supporters at a rally in southern Indiana. “Do they stand with the hard-pressed Americans who are trying to pay their gas bills at the gas station or do they once again stand with the oil companies?

    “I want to know where people stand and I want them to tell us, are they with us or against us when it comes to taking on the oil companies?” she added.

    Economists … say the oil companies may end up the biggest beneficiaries, while the aid to families wouldn’t be enough to buy a $35 backpack.

    The trouble with the plan, they say, is that oil prices are rising because of low supplies, and companies will continue to charge the average $3.60 a gallon and just pocket the money that would have gone to federal taxes.

    “There are times that a president will take a position that a broad support of quote-unquote experts agree with,” [Clinton] spokesperson Howard Wolfson said. “And there are times they will take a position that quote-unquote experts do not agree with.”

    Remember, though: Clinton is soooooo much better than the Republicans whose campaigns she is imitating.

    I’m chipping in a few more dollars to help Joe Andrew get his Indiana citizenship. I thought about giving it to the Hillary campaign, tho, because I LMAO watching Countdown last night.

    The X-26 Taser video released Tuesday shows Piskura rolling on the sidewalk while the Taser was deployed for approximately 10 seconds.

    Sweet Buddha, on what planet is this considered SOP?

    I’m here. I hope that helps you get to +2!

    On a related hippy note: there’s a dream interpretation group tonight! I’ll see if I can get a person or two to donate.

    dream interpretation? Oh! I had a dream the other day, Cheney was bent over a bar, and the Pope was spanking him with a paddle and throwing holy water on him. Cheney was just smirking the whole time. In the background the TV was playing and it was some state of the union address by Bush. My only guess is that this is what happens when Cheney is at an “undisclosed location”.

    Hippy Chicks rule. Patchouli and all. Reminds me of all the Dead shows I went to in my reckless youth.

    Youth is wasted on the young, so they say.

    Oxford police Chief Stephan Schwein declined to comment on Thursday.

    Schwein? Schwein?? A guy named that is the chief of police in a case like this? I don’t know whether to think that’s ironic or apt.

    Thank you. That is just one of the dumbest things ever. I mean, the Watergate scandal wasn’t about water, so why do people call everything “gate”? I’m waiting for a “Gategate” scandal to start, and maybe that would kill it.

    One thing that always puzzled me about hippy chicks is why they all seem to smell like sandalwood or some kind of incense.

    It gets my spider sense tingling because when I smell that I know there’s a hippy chick around. j/k :-)
