Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not trust women.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

In my day, never was longer.

Moscow Mitch is speaking tonight. Let’s raise some money for the Democrat running against him, Amy McGrath. It’s a tough race but…fuck Mitch.

    Can anybody explain what the fuck this is? And why purported Democrat Andrew Yang is lending his name to it? I always suspected he was some kind of asshole, now I know for sure.

    @Gin & Tonic:

    I’m not much of a fan, but there’s nothing there to indicate that Yang is aware of the existence of that organization, much less endorsing it.

    @Gin & Tonic: From the website:

    Paid for by Articles of Unity (ArticlesOfUnity.org) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

    None of them are in on this; or if any of them are, it’s not in a formal or official way.

    According to one of the replies there Yang has not signed up to be in Unity. It’s a lie.

    A sort of political fan fiction via online polling and data collection.  I suspect the data collection is the primary purpose.

    Like running for President to sell a book.  Looking at you, Ben Carson!

    Mitch’s remarks remind me of the old Hollywood joke about George Jessel, whose main activity was to deliver eulogies at Jewish funerals. At one, Jessel’s about midway through, looks down at the casket and says, “My God, I know this man!”

    I’m gonna tell you all, we do a monthly for Amy McGrath, and for M J Hegar in TX too, who flew a helicopter which was shot down. She has tats to cover some of her scars from shrapnel. Another great candidate!

    I feel bad that I can’t push up the Balloon Juice totals, but I’m not gonna wait for Doug J to make it around to someone when we’re already donating there.

    @Gin & Tonic: I made the stupid mistake of following the tweet owner. They’re nowhere near serious. I mean they’re saying John Cena supports this because of one picture with Tulsi? Riiiight…

    We would solve all our problems if we just elected an outsider and not regular politicians like Joe Biden and, let me make sure I’m reading this correctly, Donald Trump. But we need one from each side.  No, it doesn’t matter who’s on top.  No, it doesn’t matter this is completely incoherent.

    Can an abstract concept like “bipartisanship” be considered a fetish object?

    @Kropacetic:

    If its John Cena, Jesse Ventura and Andrew Yang I think it matters very much who’s on top and who’s on bottom… oh what?  You are refering to a presidential ticket?  Hrm…

    I’m always in for a “Fuck Mitch”.

    Wait, that might have come out wrong.
