Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Second rate reporter says what?

I really should read my own blog.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

He really is that stupid.

Books are my comfort food!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Consistently wrong since 2002

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Politifact’s Lie of the Year Fizzles Out Under Scrutiny

by John Cole|  October 15, 20127:14 pm| 81 Comments

This post is in: Blatant Liars and the Lies They Tell, hoocoodanode, Our Failed Media Experiment

Oh, whaddyaknow! Turning Medicare into a voucher program does end Medicare as we know it and will be devastating to seniors: A new study out today by the non-partisan Kaiser Family Foundation confirms what many have been saying for a very long time—the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan would result in six out of ten seniors paying …

Politifact Calls Harry Reid a Liar; Wishes There Was a Way to Prove that Romney Paid Income Tax

by Imani Gandy (ABL)|  August 6, 20128:55 pm| 101 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity, Looks Like I Picked the Wrong Week to Stop Sniffing Glue, Our Failed Media Experiment, Romney of the Uncanny Valley

Politifact rated Harry Reid’s statement that a Bain investor called him up and told him that Romney didn’t pay any taxes as “Pants on Fire.” Duh. Dana Houle explains why Politifact is politistupid: Harry Reid says he heard from someone that Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes for ten years. We don’t know if what Reid …

PolitiFact Finds Another Way to Be as Useless as Teats on a Boar

by Betty Cracker|  May 17, 20129:00 am| 46 Comments

This post is in: Media, Politics, Assholes

Ambulatory Sears mannequin Mitt Romney made a swing through the Sunshine State this week, kissing ass (“Gosh! The energy. The Cuban American energy and passion is so wonderful!”) and collecting a couple of mill from wizened snowbird socialites for his campaign war chest. He also delivered speeches containing scads of well-documented lies. So what does …

Can PolitiFact Be Salvaged?

by Betty Cracker|  February 21, 20124:27 pm| 42 Comments

This post is in: Domestic Politics, Media, Politics, Assholes, General Stupidity

Rachel Maddow is fed up with PolitiFact. She’s not alone. PolitiFact’s galloping case of Broderitis seems to have worsened recently. Perhaps its most infamous foray into useful idiocy was its 2011 “Lie of the Year” award for Democrats who correctly characterized Paul Ryan’s “Coupons4Codgers” plan as the end of Medicare as we know it. But …

Late Night Open Thread: Elon Musk, Plate-Spinner

Even that seems wildly overvalued. https://t.co/FRZq58R4tT — Clean Observer (@Hammbear2024) October 30, 2023 I assume this is happening now because the IRS, or the banks which are his creditors — or both — are pressing Musk a littler harder than he can handle? Per the NYTimes: X, the company formerly known as Twitter, handed out …

Scott bet on a red tide. So he just used the committee to build up his own brand. Pocketed the money basically. Congrats to all who celebrate. https://t.co/1lJjk07g1e — Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) September 1, 2022 #MoscowMitch McConnell is an old-school political grifter — the kind of man who’s willing to spend decades sucking up to …
