Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

This blog will pay for itself.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I really should read my own blog.

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

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

An Update on HR 3808

The indispensable D-Day has an update on HR 3808, and it looks like this is more about a pissing match between Congress and the WH than an actual attempt to override the bill.

    I’ve got to go with Pelosi. You can’t allow the president to say “no backsies” to anything he doesn’t like.

    And yet this won’t stop certain people from screaming about how this is all a betrayal and it was a fake veto etc etc.

    So this may be more about defending the right of congress to over ride a veto than an actual desire to over ride this particular veto?

    The mind reels. Or something.

    Nothing like the support Black Jimmy Carter gets from the Democratic Controlled Congress. Bully Pulpit!!

    They can’t really think they have enough votes to override it? In both houses? Really?

    @Bill H.:

    I doubt it. It’s just another dickwaving contest from Congress, trying to prove that the president is not the boss of them.
