Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Optimism opens the door to great things.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

I think ActBlue stole the idea from WaWa.

    I won’t donate to Obama.

    I want Romney to be able to appoint the next 4 justices so we can get more Citizen United decisions.

    I won’t apologize for putting the net worth of my multinational portfolio ahead your puny rights.

    @khead:
    I despise Glenn Greenwald. And I generally like Loomis a lot. But the whole thing was a dumb idea (“let’s take on a famously unhinged pedantic lawyer with lots of even more unhinged fanboys using unprovable allegations about his unexpressed opinions!”). Greenwald is Firebagger scum – indeed, is part of the original Firebagger idea. And Greenwald lies down with dogs not because he thinks he’s immune to getting up with fleas but because on the whole he agrees with those dogs. But Loomis’s chosen approach was completely misguided and 300+ comments of meaningless vituperation and circuitousness were the inevitable result.

    TPM via Bowser’s Clown Copter:

    Three of the biggest names in West Virginia Democratic politics in West Virginia will skip the Democratic National Convention this summer, once again highlighting President Obama’s rocky relationship with the state’s electorate.
    __
    But if Sen. Joe Manchin, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Rep. Nick Rahall — all Democrats — thought pulling out of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte this September would earn them the respect of Republicans, they’re wrong. …
    __
    A virtually unknown federal inmate earned more than 40 percent of the vote in the recent Democratic West Virginia primary …

    I think our history books are wrong. They all say West Virginia fought on the side of the Union, but, looking at the way their politicians act, that can’t be right. They must have been a Confederate state, right?

    Pretty ironic that “WAH WAH” was the first song played at George Harrison’s (and friends) “Concert for Bangaladesh” in MSG on 8/1/71.

    Mittens would rather starve people. George was trying to save and feed people.

    Neither attribution nor direct quoting required (or advised!). I see you’ve been RT’d at least once so far :)

    I saw the new (to me, at least) Dos Equis commercial this afternoon where one of the lines was “Sasquatch took a photo of him”. Cracked me up; sadly, my writing skills lacks ability to make someone truly “uninterested” with the same pattern of writing as the DE commercials, so, please, run with it and improve it.

    [email protected]JGabriel: I saw that too. Can’t wait till Cole gets on it.

    I was at the WV Dem Convention a couple of weeks ago. Manchin was there, gave a speech that didn’t mention Obama, and the Dem crowd was not pleased. But Manchin and Tomblin are playing to the lowest common denominator in the state and “putting the n…er in his place” will probably help them.

    Cold rage.

    Alright, had a great time in NOLA with the fam. Glad to be back home though. Missed the majority of the poltical news, but I’m glad. I feel a little more rejuvenated.

    Anyway, fudge Ann Romeny, FLOTUS is the best

    Mrs. Obama also joined the Cary Family YMCA SuperSkippers of North Carolina for a round of Double-Dutch jump roping, and surprised the kids–boys and girls–with her prowess.

    I took Uncle Joe’s advice and set up a grassroots fundraising page, inviting only Known Liberals, of which I am friends/acquaintances with bazillions, to donate to Obama. I was just working myself into high dudgeon at my circle’s cheapassity when I discovered that many who are already on the OFA mailing list were automatically weeded out. Others kindly emailed to tell me they’d already given till it hurt. Hope so.
