Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

The National Guard is not Batman.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Stand up, dammit!

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

It Really Is Impressive

The way Malkin self-promotes and makes everything about her. Someone shoots the chairman of the Democratic party, some random jackass sends her a nasty (and misguided) e-mail, and look what our heroine does:

No links, because that is what she really wants.

    Do you suppose in her heart of hearts she wants the shooter to have done this out of support for the Conservative cause?

    I don’t get it. And if I did, I’d still say who the fuck cares what she says/does?

    If Malkin couldn’t talk about herself, why would she even be blogging in the first place

    I shot the chairman.

    But I didn’t shoot the deputy (chairman).

    I think the real issue is that she is a national figure, you are all nobodies, and you can’t stand that fact. Hence, you attack everything she does, including her response to attacks against herself.

    Predictably, after she posts the e-mailer’s full name and unredacted e-mail address, her faithful flying monkeys start stalking the guy online.

    I won’t tell you to go over there to wallow in the slime, but you can get an idea from some of the comments about it here:

    SadlyNo!

    Ted Bundy (GOP btw) was a ‘national’ figure too but I still despised him.

    Jesus Christ that was scary. I missed the post yesterday about the shooting, so the phrase “someone shot the chairman of the Democratic Party” caught me completely off-guard. OMGWTF, someone shot Howard Dean???

    It’s not like I know him myself, but I know half a dozen people who have worked with or for him before his current job. Him getting shot would have been very big news.

    oh, how i wish that i could be a racist, xenophobic, celebrity narcissist with a following of mouth-breathing, racist, xenophobic douchebags!

    So typical of Michelle Malkin: someone else is shot and killed: and she’s the victim!
