Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

This blog will pay for itself.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

    It actually sounds more plausible, put that way. The real birthers could never be that concise and coherent.

    For once, I hope Armbinder is right.

    The worst thing that could have happened to Democrats — and the one thing that needed to happen in order to kill health reform — did not happen. The Democrats held together. Moderates were not intimidated. Don’t confuse their constituent meeting pander with changed minds.

    it’s amazing to see how perplexed the villagers are by the behavior of the reichwing. this school hoohaw has finally made clear to them the level of insanity — and the danger the right pose if left unaddressed.

    they really are getting nervous, too. joe klein was clearly freaked by his travel to townhalls recently.

    Hail Satan! Indeed.

    @General Winfield Stuck: I enjoyed the whole article. And once again, via our precious school children, Obama marginalizes the right even more. The MSM tonight is filled with how ridiculous the ‘controversy’ was. NBC Nightly News had a quote from a 12 year old the pretty much said it all (at 2:46)

    (hope the link works).

    I like the concept..

    But it’s a bit long and too derivative of South Park’s Scientology sketch.

    With a little polish it could be even better.

    Weird phone poll from some Billy Bob claimi g to be from the NRA. “How do you feel about the UN’s plan to ban all guns in america?”

    my explictives and hoots of laughter answered his question.

    Sent it to a conservative friend as a joke – sadly, all they said was “they’re right about the socialist hellhole” – that’s the problem with Republicans – no sense of humor.

    In the Middle Ages (starting in the 12th or 13th century) a similar tale was told of King Arthur’s advisor Merlin the magican. You can find it in the Old French “Prose Merlin” of Robert de Boron (the same author who came up with the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail). According to this tale, a council of demons planned to counter the birth of Jesus by sending a devil to impregnate a Welsh princess. The child, half devil and half human, was supposed to become the Antichrist.
    Instead, because of his mother’s piety and virtue, he became a powerful being on the side of good.
    That last part seems to be too sophisticated a twist for the birthers, but they got the rest of it pretty well.

    This tape proves it!

    The birthers are from the future, of a VERY alternative universe, and have come back to warn the CRAZIES!!

    Oh, but the people calling Obama a Commie aren’t racist, not at all — just because they (or their spiritual forebears) were saying the same sort of crap about Dr. King and the civil rights movement forty years ago:
