Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Mario Piperni made this awesome image of Steve King, and I think it is just great:

King-Steve_The-Republican

He’s got a lot of great images he has made.

    I like the picture, but the artist could have saved himself some time and just painted a large steaming turd.

    That’s a libel of an innocent, tasty, and nutritious fruit.

    King is unworthy of that image. That is really very well done.

    @cbear: We have a our own resident bigot to draw turds. I don’t think that’s a two person job.

    I heard you renamed your cat. I think he should be called George. Not after the prince or the murderer but your cat is a fatty and needs a fat man’s name. George is a fat man’s name.

    Not that you asked. :)

    @Yatsuno:

    In my family, they are known as mushmelons. Seems far more fitting in this case.

    Mario did a great graphic of Obama as Trayvon in a hoodie. But my favorite Mario is Obama as Einstein with an E=mc2 on it (Economics +MiddleClass.) I have that one in a tshirt and I got a long sleeve tshirt of it for my son. I also bought about 15 buttons of it to hand out to some of my old OFA buddies before the election last year. Mario is super talented.

    Saw the video at TPM showing that King genius blabbering about Modern History on the floor of the House. Apparently, Modern History now begins with Moses.

    The racist insanity of Steve King should not deserve any extra attention; he’s a well-known racist attention getter. I would rather see a Democratic voter drive in his district directed at his support for farmer subsidies that are increasing the deficit and increasing the taxes of the Iowa middle class. His Iowa constituency doesn’t care about minorities but they care about deficits and taxes (or at least I assume, having never been to Iowa).

    No wonder the poor guy can’t tink straight. No consistency at all. Melon head out to pastour much moor useful.

    Melon? When I first looked at it I thought the artist was depicting a rather extreme form of frontal lobotomy.

    By the way, here’s some good news for you all — it’s proof that sometimes the little people do win: firedoglake.com/2013/07/27/come-saturday-morning-dinkytown-not-megatown/
