Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

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

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

I am sick for a few days, and Will Warren cranks out some more gems at Unremitting Verse. Guess who he is talking about here:

My legacy needs tending, so I travel round the world:
The banner of philanthropy I always fly unfurled.
I teach my people history they really ought to know,
While guiding foreign policy in ways it ought to go.
I gaze into the future-I’m a quite astounding seer;
I’ve a sweet and even temper that is quite without a peer.
I love my fellow creatures-I do all the good I can-
Yet everybody says I’m such a disagreeable man!
And I can’t think why!

Emily Jones beats up Norah

Emily Jones beats up Norah Vincent. Both are Balloon Juice favorites, but for radically different reasons. Yeehaw.

** Update **

Miss Emily has inaccurately inferred that I insulted her in my previous comments. I meant that I like them both because Vincent is an unending source of banalities for me to poke fun at (although she did have a nice little rant about intolerance of the loony left a few weeks ago) , while I agree with a good deal of what Emily has to say- except her taste in movies. I apologize for being unclear.
