Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I don’t have a lot to talk about, but I’m sure some of you all do.

    Figured I’d throw you a comment after the big guy stepped on you, cause otherwise you’ll get nothing.

    why the hell Ralph Reed, Abramoff’s hit boy, is on my TV opining about anything evades me, especially as he tries on the morality bullshit.

    Brimelow, white supremacist of VDare, spoke at CPAC yesterday I guess. I had never heard of him but that doesn’t prove a whole lot.

    Anyway, I poked around a bit on VDare’s website and got some opinions from folks like Southern Poverty Law.

    Not a nice guy.

    Why is CPAC opening up to these guys? They are actually more than run-of-the-mill racist pigs. Some of them are no longer protofascist as they have already crossed the line.

    Is CPAC playing with fire? Or making a contract with the devil?

    @Linda Featheringill:

    First, thanks for the open thread, SG, even though JC stomped all over you like Obama on the USCCB today.

    Apparently (and Charles over at LGF is on to this) they’ve decided to just say “fuck it” and embrace their not-so-inner outright racist. Just end all pretending that they are not precisely that.

    Oh lonely thread. I feel your pain. So open, yet stomped by the crowd. I will stand by you. For a site so devoted to pets, there is no love for the underdog thread. I’ll rad some Sylvia Plath to cheer you up.

    @gnomedad: The still photo of that, with a wide-eyed Obama clearly enjoying the show, is a keeper.

    I love that our president loves talking science with kids.

    The House passed an Insider Trading bill that says if a Republican does it, it’s okay, but if a Democrat does it, it is against the law.
