Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

T R E 4 5 O N

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Speaking of Greenwald, I strongly recommend throwing a couple of bucks to his fund to take on the worst FISA offenders in ads and in primaries. They already raised over $300,000 freaking dollars.

We obviously can’t count on party leaders to do the right thing. If there is any hope at all it’s that we might make party leaders fear us constituents more than they fear David Broder.

    Me too. Already contributed. Twice.

    Earlier thought of suggesting an ActBlue link here for that fund on BJ, but I was worried sage battle pickers might get mad and call me names, so I followed Dem SOP: No battle too large or too small to pick. Just trying to feel the Democratic Party spirit. Really.

    Yep. Until Obama falls behind McCain in polls or donations (neither of which is likely), then that fund is the place to donate.

    As much as I detest Grover Norquist’s vision of a perfect America, I’m gaining more and more respect for his focus and drive in kicking the equivocators out of his party via primary challenge.

    I think before this year’s out, we’ll have such an organization on our side, maybe Greenwald’s ActBlue FISA page is the acorn from which this mighty oak can grow. I just watered it with another $100.

    I also donated $75 about a week ago. We need to be able to show that a lot of small donors really can compete with these large corporate PACs. Whether John was right that it was a losing hand or not, this is one small way to make it harder for these hacks to decide to trade civil liberties for PAC money.

    The FISA power isn’t political. It’s actually a display of the powerlessness of the political parties. The power accrues to the NSA. Whether Bush is in office or Obama is in the power accrues to the intelligence community. I have little doubt that the NSA was doing illegal spying back in the nineties. The current legislation is only because someone noticed.

    The bigger mystery to me is why everyone in the blogosphere can write over and over about this but leave out the NSA as a player in this, like it is only the car in the car crash.
