Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Be a wild strawberry.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

White supremacy is terrorism.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

How stupid are these people?

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

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

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

    Leave Jim Lerher alone. When you have accomplished 1/1000th of what he has done, get back to me. Until then, send the snark elsewhere.

    Comment indicating desire… no, wait, let me try that again.

    MOAR THREADS PLZ.

    Also, Romney seems to be trying to “personalize” his visible surface by putting speech unit into husky mode.

    Fuck Race to the top.

    But good strategy to make Romney defend his crazy tax policies early.

    Though, I think his response might actually bamboozle dumbass “undecided” voters.

    Romney looks terrible optically. He looks like he’s scared shitless to be up there, frankly.

    WTF is Romney even saying? The lies and nonsense are coming so fast I can’t even hear them. Shouldn’t he explode or something? OK, “I like coal.” I got that.

    i’m not actually watching, because i hate presidential debates. however, i assume that the white horse’s ass is already jittery and a bit flustered.

    Romney is making strong pitch to the middle. It’s Etch a Sketch time. He seems well rehearsed and practiced. The president is struggling a little bit and seems tired, which given all the things he’d dealing with in addition to campaigning ought to be the case.

    Wow, does Romney know how to do anything but lie?

    Man, reading these comments and Sullys Live Blog – two totally different events in which Rmoney is kicking the prez’ a$s.

    I really can’t look at Romney. He looks like eddie Munster and makes me ill.

    Not watching. Don’t need to hear Rmoney’s booshwah. Already know it from when dotty raygun spewed the same shite 30 years hence. Listening to Neil Young instead. “Cortez, Cortez, what a killer”. Sweet. Beautiful, baby.

    Wake me when the ass kicking is over.
