Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Trump should be leading, not lying.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

“Alexa, change the president.”

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

We can place Matt Gaetz in a hotel room snorting cocaine with an escort, according to two sources.

A source also says Joel Greenberg will testify that she’s one of 15+ women that Gaetz paid for sex.https://t.co/Gaffy2jibz

Curious as to why this is coming out tonight…

Open thread for a hell of a drug.

    The congressman—who has declared that he “never paid for sex”—wrote off the stay at the hotel as a campaign expense, with his donors picking up the tab.

    We’re getting close to “Al Capone busted for tax evasion” here.

    In another move that should surprise nobody, it sounds as if Marjorie Taylor Greene has illegally claimed homestead exemption on two homes at the same time. These Republicans just can’t keep from criming. No wonder they love Trump so much.

    @Roger Moore:

    To those people, white rich Christians are above the law, so long as they hate the same people that is

    In a statement, Greene’s office told Gray to mind his own business and called it a “pathetic smear” when he asked them about the homestead exemptions.

    Greene still owns a North Fulton county home, but also bought a $610,000 house in Floyd County last year in the 14th Congressional district, which she represents.

    A member of Congress does not have to live in the district they represent. But what you legally cannot do, is file multiple homestead exemptions.

    Jesus Christ. Quality hires in her office. Breaking the law is now a “pathetic smear”

    Is anyone surprised? The more they yammer about something like that, the more likely it is they’re lying. When they make a big deal about being tax paying American citizens, it means they’re tax cheats, foreigners, or both. When they can’t stop talking about how patriotic they are, it means they’re taking Russian money. They can’t stop telling on themselves.

    Have not seen that video but she sounds completely deranged based on what I’ve heard of it. I can’t believe McCarthy is OK with this. If what Maxine Waters said before the Chauvin trial was too much for them, then Greene’s stalkerish behavior towards AOC should be condemned as well. He needs to be confronted about this. What’s he waiting for? Greene shooting somebody?

    Hey even that new guy running for governor in VA – the self-financed, Cruz-loving, megamillionaire – is already making it a point to say that President Biden “legitimately” won the election.

    Things change fast sometimes…Gaetz and the worst of the seditionists might find themselves on a short plank, being sawn off, rather quickly…

    I can’t believe McCarthy is OK with this.

    Trump sent a mob to murder members of Congress and Mike Pence and wouldn’t have lost sleep if McCarthy was among the casualties. After a couple of days of outrage, McCarthy flew down to Mar-a-lago to kiss his ring.

    He’s perfectly fine with a Rep who only targets her sights on Democratic women.
