Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The revolution will be supervised.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This really is a full service blog.

In my day, never was longer.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We Were So Young and Innocent Then

Seems like only yesterday when the GOP was all upset because the Kenyan usurper had relaxed the dress code to feel more comfortable in his tribal attire:

CARD: I found that Ronald Reagan and both President Bushes treated the Oval Office with tremendous respect. They treated the Office of the Presidency with tremendous respect. And some of that respect was reflected in how they expected people to behave, how they expected them to dress when they walked into the symbol of freedom for the world, the Oval Office. And yes, I’m disappointed to see the casual, laissez faire, short sleeves, no shirt and tie, no jacket, kind of locker room experience that seems to be taking place in this White House and the Oval Office.

Life comes at you fast:

Why, I remember when salty language like that was left to the vulgar bloggers and could even get you banned from cable television (google Marci Wheeler and “blowjob.”).

Enough reminiscing, I have a long drive to the beach tomorrow.

    I posted this in an earlier thread, but it’s more appropriate here:

    All the Italian-American groups that protested “The Sopranos” or “Jersey Shore” for their negative stereotypes of Italian-Americans are going to end up calling out Trump for hiring the bastard child of Christopher Moltisanti and The Situation as his communications director, right?

    I read the Lizza write up earlier this evening when I got home. If the White House Special Security Officer doesn’t order Scaramucci in for a urinalysis for drug screening ASAP something is very, very wrong.

    But he was nicely dressed in a suit and tie so he was not debasing the oval orifice.

    Guys like Scaramucci make me think seriously about giving up cursing. You know, I think, “Holy fuck Goodness gracious, do I sound like that?”

    Seems like only yesterday when the GOP was all upset because the Kenyan usurper had relaxed the dress code to feel more comfortable in his tribal attire:

    And I remember people turning around and finding plenty of pictures of Reagan and both Bushes wearing exactly the same kinds of clothes, without any apparent effect on the Republican response. It’s tribal, and they aren’t going to change their response now.

    Priebus was shivving people in DC before Scaramucci made his first insider trade. This should be interesting.

    I do love that the Trump White House has finally attracted a pure courtier, a man with no political goals other than to gain wealth and power sucking up to the president. The kind of idiotic, hyperbolic praise and declarations of loyalty that anyone else would see as pathetic attempts to suck up, Trump thinks are his just due. Then the knives come out for the competition.

    The biggest mark in America has attracted his first true grifter. I doubt Scammer Mariachi will be the last.

    I remember like it was yesterday when autofellation in all its glory was pretty much confined to the murkier confines of Reddit and genuine porn sites. And now its everywhere-sometime with pics.
    Alas alack how fast the world do move.

    The White House has a Special Security Officer? This White House? The one which let Russians just waltz in unattended?
