Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The lights are all blinking red.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Consistently wrong since 2002

How stupid are these people?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Republicans do not trust women.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

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

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

    It’s funny that the only impression of the SCOTUS outside a couple of recent audio clips that I have come from “The People vs. Larry Flynt”, where Scalia had the most prominent role.

    I wonder if he was cracking jokes when he betrayed his own legal philosophy to ensure that Bush became POTUS.

    Hah hah.

    I love that Thomas rates a zero. I guess that’s what happens when you never ask questions at oral argument and simply cede your vote to Scalia each time.

    Liptak is kinda dense if he finds Roberts’ joke about Gibbons v. Ogden hard to comprehend. It’s pretty obvious.

    As it see it, nearly every Scalia argument is a knee-slapper. Or is that wrist-slapper?

    Scalia’s opinions, at least, can be hilarious. He’s definitely an insulting bastard, but he’s funny.

    Even on a post like this — about humor — a couple of Lefty commenters display their amazing lack of same.

    Sad, really, for a party that wants to reassume power.
