Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

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

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

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

I really should read my own blog.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

This really is a full service blog.

Why does everyone in the

Why does everyone in the Granola Mafia talk like this:

These comments are from William Quick’s comments board, and are so funny they need to be reproduced:

The republicanspeak corporatist propaganda engines can weave their web of disinformation, distortion, and lie, and cite polls buttressing their spin and work to refract the seriousness of the many abuses of Bush and his obscenely rich and greedy corporatist cronies,- but the truth will not be silenced for long. There are far too many terrible questions yet to be answered. This is America. The people have a constitutionally protected right to dissent, to ask questions, and to demand answers from our supposed leadership. Bush and his imperialist cronies will be held accountable for their misdeeds. Unless this imposter and his clan of pathological liars has bin Laden’s head on a plate before the next election, – Bush can forget about stealing another presidency. The enormity and incestuousness of the republicanspeak corporatist machine and their web of lies, collusion, disinformation, and malfeasance is so thick and sticky; it will eventually smother them in their own filth. You can rely on polls and spin, – I will trust the truth.

Tony Foresta

The loon left his email over at Quick’s site. Feel free to email him and provide him with another opportunity to dissent. Just don’t dare ask him to tell you one right of yours that has been eroded within the last two years. He might melt down.
