Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Let there be snark.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Not much to post about

Not much to post about this weekend. Other than causing quite a stir for attacking the faux civil rights leaders in previous posts, not much has been happening. I have found out that it does not matter what your actual political positions are, if you disagree with the left on ANY issue you are a conservative. Period. Nothing, it seems, is more sacred than the hallowed ground of moral outrage on race issues that Democrats seem to believe that they have a stranglehold on, so questioning them will open you to charges of racism, mean-spiritedness, being a hack, a Dixiecrat, an unreconstructed redneck, a fascist, etc. And then there are the four letter words. Kind of amusing, actually. Bob Novak may act and look like the Prince of Darkness, and Ann Coulter may be shrill and irritating at times, but it becomes clearer and clearer that the true left is the real home of name-calling, ugliness, and unhappiness. I just can not believe how miserable most of these people are, and how awful they really think the world is. It is also amusing how they assign the worst intentions and motives to ANYTHING anyone does or says. Quite odd, really. And the guilt by association thing they seem to base everything on is really rather odd and inconsistent with what they claim their beliefs really are.

At any rate, a slow week-end for news (Yglesias has some worthwhile links to the elections in Kenya), and there were a number of important NFL and College Bowl games to watch. The Steelers won, which is nice, but it did not earn them a BYE as the Titans beat the Texans. Oh well.
