Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was promised a recession.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

As Americans gather with their loved ones for Christmas, Trump couldn’t let the day pass without talking about the most important woman in his life…

Nancy Pelosi https://t.co/e39WbaeZM4

— The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) December 26, 2019

Short answer: Article I, Sec 2, Clause 5

Long answer: a coordinated effort to use the powers of the presidency for the sole purpose of getting a foreign country to act in a way that would benefit a re-election campaign is bad and apparently that’s a partisan thing now https://t.co/3GcBZvqCkW

As Trump questions "by what right" does Nancy Pelosi impeach him, the elected president, a reminder … https://t.co/sWpaOP5XJR

Must be very frustrating to him

— David Frum (@davidfrum) December 26, 2019

If we spend all of 2020 working hard and working smart, Donald Trump will spend next Christmas hiding under his desk and crying, because he'll know his arrest is coming the minute the next president is inaugurated.

Here's to 2020. Now get to work!

Trump is climbing in the polls… sort of. https://t.co/oVlHcyLtNf

    What’s the NPV margin that translates to control of the Senate for Democrats?  +8%?  +15%?

    Less than a year from now, we’ll have a clearer picture of our future.  Or at least a picture that is muddled in a fundamentally different way than today.

    Did you hear him telling someone on Christmas Eve that he hadn’t bought his wife a present yet, that he was “still working on it,” but he had bought her a nice card? Five bucks says he ended up going through Kellyanne’s regifting box.

    I wonder if the Shaitgibbon is aware of how brittle his support in the Senate must ultimately be. I suppose he’d be totally shocked if Moscow Mitch does see a disastrous series of polls and turns on him.

    What’s interesting about that red-and-blue graph is that there is a sudden jump in opinion (significantly AGAINST Trump) on/about Dec. 17 or 18. Which I think was the date of that insane 6-page letter to Nancy Pelosi. Which I’m guessing, he released (or more likely and accurately, went against probably-universal advice NOT to release) in the hopes of boosting his “position” with the public; but, as with Most Things Trump, ended up  making it worse for himself.

    Stable genius, indeed.

    @Jay C:

    Nothing the Democrats do seems to affect Trump’s polls at all.  It was the ‘transcript’ confession that hit his numbers and started the impeachment.  He can’t stop self-impeaching.  I honestly don’t know whether to give Pelosi credit for spotting he had a gun in his mouth and would pull the trigger eventually or not.

    @Jay C: That’s “stable” as in What you scrape out of the stable after the horses have been in there a while, eating and, well, doing the thing animals do after they eat.

    There is always that painting of himself

    Some people say it is worth $10,000

    @debbie: Doesn’t he have People who do that sort of gift shopping?  How about a new jacket with no writing on the back?  Maybe a make-over of Marian Robinson’s old White House rooms?  Oh, wait, a gold frame for her Einstein visa.  A knock-off pair of Manolos because he won’t spring for the real thing?  The possibilities are endless…

    If we work hard and well we should have him hiding under his desk long before next xmas.

    Either that or maybe he’ll pull a real life Mr. Creosote. He’s not quite that portly but we shouldn’t quibble about such a minor issue.
