Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

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

Their shamelessness is their super power.

How stupid are these people?

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

McCarthy jokes 'it will be hard not to hit' Pelosi with gavel if he becomes House speaker – CNNPolitics https://t.co/YCo3gCEK33

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) August 1, 2021

He’s brave enough to brag to his little buddies behind her back, but let’s be real: Nancy Smash so much as gives Kevvy the Look she uses on misbehaving grandchildren, he’ll pee himself a little — before running to the media to sob about it.

Here’s audio of @GOPLeader’s comment on @SpeakerPelosi: https://t.co/tSmcteVcdk pic.twitter.com/yLC4lzGEVV

— Vivian Jones (@Vivian_E_Jones) August 1, 2021

If you ever tried to hit Nancy Pelosi with a gavel, Kevin, she’d probably kick your sorry ass.

It’s been 24 hours since @gopleader McCarthy threatened violence against @SpeakerPelosi. RT if he should apologize or resign. https://t.co/GWotTe5398

    Pretty sad that this dumbshit thinks he has a chance at being Speaker. He was shivved hard the last time he had the chance (when Orange Julius quit in 2015), so I doubt his stupid performative theattrics for the retrograde crowd will make a difference. If (and damn I hope it’s not true) the GOP manages to swipe the House in the next elections, Scalise will be the next speaker – or, if those stupid fevered dreams play out, possible Trump.

    I’m reaching the conclusion that Tennessee’s admission as a state was a mistake, primarily because of the people it has produced from the very beginning.

    Lots of Tennessee assholes are central to original Texas independence, the Confederacy and all the nastiness after.

    1) Qevin isn’t supporting TFG to be the next Speaker?? Someone should ask him about that.

    2) (repost from downstairs) – Resolved – White men are too moody and impulsive to be trusted with power and authority without a BIPOC at their right hand.

    If he would have congressional immunity for that, then I think Nancy would be justified in whatever she would do in self defense, and I would bet that Kevin would not be the winner in that fight.

    With BoJo, there’s always a newspaper comment.

    Today i learned –

    In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the FBI formed a fake Arabian company and attempted to bribe members of congress as part of an operation known as ABSCAM. Nearly 25% of those tested accepted the bribe and were later convicted. – WTF Fun Facts

    If we do something similar today, I figure we’re looking at north of 50%? (eg most GOPers, and probably some Dems as I don’t think we’re perfect) Any guesses?

    Susan Collins is not a white supremacist. For one thing, white supremacy is an ideology that requires commitment and consistency, and that rules her out immediately. t.co/QFzQ9WjZZW— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) August 1, 2021

    It was absolutely not a joke.

    Oh, but was he serious he's really going to hit her?

    No.

    No he's not and he knows it. What he is doing is normalizing threats of violence with a base that DOES VIOLENCE.t.co/uq3qRO3S5P

    — Mistress Emma Evans (@MelanieMoore) August 1, 2021

    It's like going to a group of spousal abusers and joking about how you're going to go home and backhand that bitch if she doesn't have your drink and slippers ready.

    Then claiming it was a joke because you'd never…

    Maybe you wouldn't. But you're talking to a group that does.

    Mighty white stage crowd at that ‘Statesman’s Dinner’. Though I believe it’s all cool because they allowed one Veejay-American up there with them as cover.

    And I’m sorry, but just as Mike Pence has a very distinct resting-coma recovery face going on, McQuarthy very much looks like a man who has just felt something warm and wet escape his under crackers and is trying as hard as he can to think of a way off that stage before anyone notices.

    @germy: Yep, it’s normalizing violence against D’s in general and Nancy’s been a hate target for them for years.  Combine this with Pompeo saying he was at Bedminster for a Cabinet meeting and it looks like the attempted coup is very much still in the “attempting” phase.

    McCarthy is a hollow man.  He always looks afraid when I see him. He exudes fear and he has no sense of joy.  He is a very weak man, and he knows it. That’s why he is afraid of Pelosi.

    @JaneE: Ha. He’d last only as long as Nancy SMASH! needed to bend over, remove one spike heel, and slam it with excessive force between his eyebrows. I’d bet good money it’d crash right through that thin bone and, unimpeded by any semblance of gray matter, bounce off the rear of his skull.

    Fuck around and find out, Qevin!

    Is it too soon to bring up McCarthy’s extra-marital affair with Renee Ellmers?

    STFU, Kevin.
