Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

A consequence of cucumbers

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Not all heroes wear capes.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

White supremacy is terrorism.

    And this was unexpected in which way, now?

    If this were the worst that they did, I’d be happy. Sadly — as we can see from the next FP post — it’s not.

    My only quibble: I was under the impression the phrase “too clever by half” means that whatever plan/action turns out to be 1.5X more clever than anticipated is one that bites the plannner/enactor in the @$$. Hence, I was waiting for the NRSC’s comeuppance in ABL’s post. Alas, there was none.

    But, yeah, the fake Conryn tweets are da shitz. Instead of being offered as something to envision on a blog, someone should actually tweet those.

    I’m not sure what the Repubs hope to achieve with this twitter nonsense. Or even the blank page nonsense.

    Most of the Twitterati are probably younger than most Republicans. Are they trying to impress the youngsters [younger than 50 years old] with their cool, savvy ways?

    And the wingnut base will believe every word. Reminds me of the old commercial with 3 kids and some food product, “Let”s give it to Mikey. He’ll eat anything”.

    I realize I’m exposing my age here, but you have it backwards: it’s a Life Cereal commercial and the point is that Mikey doesn’t like anything, so therefore it’s amazing that he’s actually eating the cereal.

    And, yes, YouTube has the original commercial.

    I would give them more points (bringing them up to -999,998) if the page returned a “404 Error: Budget not found.”

    Of course, that’s too technical for them.

    they’re out there, scrapping it up, fightin the good fight, takin shots where they can. and that keeps the base happy. and a happy base is a base that supports their team, votes for their team, and donates for their team.

    anyone here get the feeling that the DNC gives a fuck about the base? the only thing i hear from them is begging for cash.

    I think for the GOP, a “youngster” is someone who was in high school before Thriller came out.

    The scary thing is that I also remember commercials that were on when I was two years old.

    Oh yeah, now it’s coming back to me.
    Not quite a good fit then but the wingnut blogs, radio, tv can feed any bs to their fans and they will believe anything.
