Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Republicans in disarray!

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

The willow is too close to the house.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

The words do not have to be perfect.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Tick tock motherfuckers!

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

    Evangelist Franklin Graham announced Tuesday he is leaving the Republican Party over the GOP-led spending bill passed last week, calling it “wasteful” and likening funding of Planned Parenthood to Nazi concentration camps.

    And people say socialcons don’t like Trump. Change is coming.

    All he’s doing is setting up a fund-raising tour to fleece the rubes – again.

    Which is exactly why he needs to die in a fire.

    Great. I hope he encourages all his followers to refuse to vote in the upcoming election to prove to the Republicans how much he hates them.

    ETA: Besides, we all know Graham is just a cracker.

    It would be funnier if she just scowled at him, and he… umm… folded? backed off?

    Yes, much better. Running away, like a scared beauty queen runner-up.

    I’ll work on that. (not really, as my skill set isn’t close). Not sure if I even have a skill set anymore. . .

    Franklin Graham is just dropping the last veil of the dance of the socialcons revealing their values, heart, soul and essence in all its glory. Very revealing choice of illustrated thread to post under by srv to rejoice in who they’re kissing up to.

    I am enjoying the “He’ll No!” response that Donald’s demand for an apology got from Hillary’s spokesman. She is showing more spine that his Republican opponents. She diminishes him, and the rest of the field, by playing it right back at him.

    It is like a typical Obama situation where you refuse to play the game and the GOP is stuck going around in circles, looking ridiculous, outmanoeuvred on a battlefield of their ow choosing.

    @xenos: Yeah. Bernie can beat Trump nicely, with a sort of ‘I hear where you’re coming from but we have to rebel against the Establishment in constructive ways’ thing.

    Hillary can stomp Trump in political-dynastic fashion, refuse to take his bullshit, antagonize him, and humiliate him, leaving him and all his supporters in a seething, impotent, heavily armed rage. Since she can tack and is tacking to the left of Sanders on gun control, she can then take steps to try and take their guns, as promised.

    I have to admit I’d enjoy that spectacle. I’m actively working for the topmost option and to not ever have to take part in the real football-rivalry style stomping—I’d rather suggest all the old answers got swept away and it was time to start work on rebuilding—but the spectacle of Hillary stomping Trump would be good for a lot of schadenfreude. My sympathies would not be with Trump, put it that way. I just think there’d be an ugly backlash, and then ISIS wouldn’t be remotely the biggest terrorist challenge we were stuck with.

    Way too large, Cole, way too large! As I have posted before, I bet the Donald is hung like a hamster. That would explain a lot of his bravado and acting out…

    You, sir, shall be hearing from my dicks lawyers! This insult to dicks everywhere shall not stand!

    For my own part I am sympathetic, not just to my penis’ feelings but to those of penises (penae?) everywhere . . . and the color is all wrong, it should be orange, not shocking pink!

    What a hoot! I agree with others that the color is wrong and its way way too large…

    Hillary just has to laugh and laugh at him…. he will be incredulous and seething but his followers will have to see his real powerlessness — that all that orange face and sputtering rage are about weakness, flaccidity — not power. He can’t give them anything. He has nothing to give.
