Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

“woke” is the new caravan.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

So many bastards, so little time.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

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

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

That particular saga can only end one way…

I wonder if there is a part of Trump who knows that each and every one GOP-er who kisses his ass is ardently hoping and praying he is disabled or dead by 2024..

they can't downplay donald trump in 2022 because 66% of the party is part of his personality cult and they can't foreground donald trump in 2022 because his favorability with the broader electorate is 32% https://t.co/tKoKE7x6l0

    @Enhanced Voting Techniques: Yes, a mass suicide at some point.

    You misunderstand me; there’s a point within the cult where the leader must be sacrificed, by one of his own flock, if cold Winter is to be vanquished for the rebirth of Spring.

    In modern cults, the assumption is that the leader will see his immanent doom approaching, and lead the mass suicide more-or-less voluntarily.

    TFG is incapable of that much foresight, much less that much effort… but there’s plenty strivers within the GOP ranks who understand how the myth is engraved in their much-touted  ‘classical Western thought‘, and who are more than willing to snatch at the Golden Bough.

    If the Party is to survive, the King must die.

    Talking about how TFG sleeps less than 5 hours a night is not the boast they think it is. There’s a ton of evidence that indicates that getting that little sleep on a regular basis has very bad implications for physical and mental health.

    @JeffH: According to his acolytes, the King of the Grove doesn’t need much sleep, because of his immense virility.  As his enemies see it, the King can’t get much sleep, because he knows that he’ll be assassinated as soon as he loses focus.

    I chuntered on about it in the Why Is Trump Hiding? thread so I’ll repeat it here.  The Burst Pustule has a ton of financial and criminal liability trains bearing down the track towards him, most of the electorate is repulsed by his loser-traitor stink, and his very existence makes the Republican Party a dangerous and uncontrollable beast for anyone reliant on it for a career.

    There’s not a single person out there, from the lowest GOP staffer to the wealthiest GOP donor, who benefits from his continued existence, and that’s before we get to the various foreign bastards who had dealings with him they’d much rather never saw the light of day. His sudden death would make everyone happier and safer,

    I bet he knows all that and is shitting his pants. No wonder he doesn’t want to leave Xanadoo-doo. He’s a walking loose-end.

    “But at no time, having known Joe Biden for quite some time, does he have the energy of Donald Trump. We both know it. Donald Trump didn’t need to sleep five hours a night”

    I will never understand the authoritarian thing that The Leader must by physically manly (shirtless Putin, Kim Jong Un making multiple holes in one), no matter how ludicrous that is.

    It’s the presidency. Five hours of sleep plus an hour of work on his best day does not beat eight or more hours of sleep and 10-12 hours of serious work.

    As an extreme Dump hater, I will say this – President Biden should be pleased that the %#@$*^ dump did get the ball rolling on leaving that &^@$_& mess of our forever war in Afghanistan.

    I guess the pig farmer sex offender (aka ‘q’) has decided the media is not just on to him but so are the authorities.

    Mary G: In the 2016 North Carolina Governor’s race, Democrat Roy Cooper won by 11,000 votes. In 2020, trump’s coattails were so strong that Cooper won by 250,000. There was a trump bump in the Presidential race; trump got 300,000 more votes in 2020 than in 2016. But he only increased his percentage total from 49.8 to 49.9%. The political tide in North Carolina is starting to run against the Republicans, and putting trump up on a throne June 5th won’t hold it back.

    But here will be a reception beforehand, so GOP leaders will collect their fat checks first, and then cross their fingers and hope trump’s speech is not too discreditable.  I suspect the audio will be made public, by means of a smuggled cellphone. Unless the party wants to strip search a few hundred donors.

    So, will these donors and party functionaries see the 800lb gorilla trump was as President? More likely the 300lb mange-y monkey he is now.

    As well you should. It’s a winnah (as they say here in New Old Blighty)

    @Tony Jay: ​
    Only 28 hits on Google for “Xanadoo-doo” and many of them are not related to TFG. So you may have coined yet another derogatory term for TFG’s Florida get-a-way.
    Congratulations, brilliant rant generator!!​
     

    I see I’m not the first to run Xanadoo-doo at the Google-fu, but more like the last. OK with that!
