Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

“Alexa, change the president.”

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

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

In after Baud. Damn.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

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

Face of the Left

Forget Howard Dean. If the GOp wants io be sure of victory in 2004, they should make Arnie Arnesen the face of the left. I had never seen her before, and I just got about five minutes of her on Hardball. Shrill voice, face scrunched up, lips pursed, screaming and ranting with that self-satisfied smug look of a toddler on a pot when she thought she had said something clever- she reminded me of everything I hate about the fringe. She reminded me of the strident leftist college profs who run around miserable, outraged at everything, incapable of smiling. Blech.

    She’s quite a character. She was here at a local university (Wayne State University) talkin’ in a symposium I attended. I got the distinct impression that she has “issues” outside of the issues.
