Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

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

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The words do not have to be perfect.

No one could have predicted…

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

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

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

We still have time to mess this up!

Then they came for Ann Coulter

I like the word “homocon” a lot:

WorldNetDaily, the conservative site that’s become America’s #1 source for information about Barack Obama’s citizenship and hard money investment schemes, has revoked Ann Coulter’s invitation to speak at the web site’s national conference. The reason: Her high-profile September 25 appearance coming up at GOProud’s “Homocon.”

    Wow. If Ann Coulter can’t even pass the purity test because she talked to some uber-right-wing gays, then they should start losing every election in a few year’s time.

    You know that forcible conversion to Islamofascism is totally what the Real Gay Agenda(tm) is all about.

    Or perhaps forcible conversion to being gay is what the Islamofascist Agenda is all about.

    Something like that. In short gays and Islamofascists are working together to advance their mutual agenda in making us all gay Muslim extremists.

    You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

    (via Wonkette)

    While we respect all people as they are, we don’t have to respect such a wholesale assault on everything that is sacred to us and good for our society; no, in fact, we must fight against it with our very lives. The question is not whether or not we can win the battle; the question is whether we will join it. Will we accept the challenge to defend the sacred or not? We are called to be faithful and obedient to the Plan of God for our world, and within that, God will bring forth the victory. There is no doubt that, if it is not already there, gay marriage will be coming to your state soon. If we don’t fight it, our souls, our families and basically, our very civilization, will find themselves at “the end” of the line in very short order.

    We’re talking about Pam Geller and WorldNetDaily in both of these instances.

    I know that the way things are going someday Pam Geller and WND will be the pinnacles of Conservative Intelligentsia[*], as those with brains are run out of the party by the brainless. But as of today calling them the Conservative Intelligentsia is still a somewhat funny joke.

    [*] The day that Pam Geller and the WorldNutDaily crew become the Conservative Intelligentsia is probably the same day that they get kicked out of the Conservative Movement themselves for not being pure enough, what with their book-larnin’ and their ability to use the Devil’s Own Internet and all.

    And notice it’s because she’s willing to take money from gay Republicans to speak to gay Republicans.

    And this makes her a cafeteria conservative. One only wonders what they’d do to the real Ronald Reagan if he were still alive. (Not the mythical St. Ronnie they’ve constructed in their heads – the real Reagan who actually voted to raise taxes when he needed to and was willing to negotiate openly with the Soviets back when the world still had Soviets.)
