Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The willow is too close to the house.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

By now you have probably read the WaPo article by Tom Ricks on our enemy, the House of Saud. If you have not read it, go read it. I will wait.

My first impression while reading it was a big “No Screaming Eagle Shit!” I did, however, enjoy this quote:

Asked for reaction, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, said he did not take the briefing seriously. “I think that it is a misguided effort that is shallow, and not honest about the facts,” he said. “Repeating lies will never make them facts.”

Think about it. Repeating lies will never make them facts. What kind of lies?

Lies like this one, about the blood libel?

Or these lies about Jews poisoning fountains during the bubonic plague. That only got about 20 thousand Jews murdered.

Or maybe this one, about Jewish control of the United States Congress?

Or how bout one of my favorties, the ‘Jews run the media.’

Or more recently, the good old Jenin massacre. Oops. Can’t really call it a massacre, can we, since it never happened. Didn’t stop Saudi television from raising 100 million in a telethon to distribute to Palestinian terrorists and the families of suicide bombers, though.

Or virtually any of the bile that these putrid bastards spew any day that Charles Johnson is able to collect and document every day? Why are we dealing with these scum?
