Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

In my day, never was longer.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Y. Arafat, terrorist: Palestinians say

Y. Arafat, terrorist:

Palestinians say that Yasir Arafat, their leader, has issued no order in recent days to stop the terror attacks and probably could not enforce one in any case. Numerous Palestinians, in interviews today, showed no remorse for the Israelis injured and killed in today’s attacks. The opposite, in fact.

Which is what I have been saying all along. Arafat either can not or will not stop the violence. Put a bullet in him.

This suggests that, even if General Zinni succeeds in bringing about a cease-fire among the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, Mr. Arafat will have a difficult time bringing along the rank and file even among his own supporters. Numerous other Palestinians, in Islamic Jihad, Hamas and other militant movements, hold no allegiance to Mr. Arafat and his agreements.

Today’s attack, “boosted the morale of our people,” said Iyhab, a Palestinian gunmen who declined to give his full name, echoing the sentiments of numerous people interviewed here this afternoon. He was referring to the gunman who opened fire in the central Israeli town of Kfar Saba this afternoon, killing a schoolgirl.

Which also proves what I have been saying all along. They (the Palestinans and their supporters) will not stop until every Jew is dead and Israel does not exist.

Is this really so hard for people to understand? I agree the Jewish settlerments must stop, but is it not now crystal clear to everyone what is going on in the region? Bush better not go wobbly on Israel, and someone please muzzle Colin Powell.

    John Cole, you are a despicable person filled with hate. So what is Arafat is incapable of reining in the militants? Put a bullet in him?? you say that so nonchalantly, you don’t seem to have value for human life. Are you Jewish? If you were i’d understand. Isn’t somewhere in your ‘scriptures’ that a life of a non-Jew isn’t worth the fingernail of a Jew?? Following these kind of corrupted religious teachings is what makes you people (Jewish Fundamentalist extremist hate filled terrorists, such as yourself, John) so evil.

    The world would be better rid off your hate filled kind. Rest assured, it’s not gonna happen now, but when the Messiah comes. Jesus the Messiah will come and kick all your evil butts, you and your master, the False Messiah who will rule from the throne of David (thereby deceiving your misguided kind). The stage is about to be set for your Divine punisment…Repent while you still can and while God will still accept it.
