Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Let there be snark.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Second rate reporter says what?

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

SHOCKED!

OUTRAGED!!

APPALLED!!!

Those were the reactions from Margaret Carlsonand the rest of the demagogo-pundits in the national media last week when Karl Rove stated matter-of-factly that the American people think Republicans will handle the war on terrorism better than Democrats.

Crass!!

How Partisan!!!

Exploiting 9/11 for Political Gain!!!

The latest ABC news/ WaPo poll shows that when asked the question “Which political party, the (Democrats) or the (Republicans), do you trust to do a better job…?”

Handling national defense and the military budget: Democrats- 27%, Republicans- 63%

Handling the U.S. campaign against terrorism: Democrats- 23%, Republicans- 62%

Washington, where scandals are created by observing facts and telling the truth.
