Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

He really is that stupid.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Please don’t feed the bears.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Haditha Case Unraveling!

by Tim F|  July 18, 20078:28 am| 249 Comments

This post is in: War

Not so much. One of the Marines charged with murdering civilians in Haditha, Iraq, in 2005 knew that only women and children were huddled in a back bedroom in a house there, but he opened the door and shot them anyway, a squadmate testified Tuesday. “I told him, there’s women and kids in that room,” …

Remember, They Hate us for Our Freedom

by John Cole|  January 23, 20129:34 pm| 191 Comments

This post is in: War

A little more than three days time served for each victim: A Marine sergeant who told his troops to “shoot first, ask questions later” in a raid that killed unarmed Iraqi women, children and elderly pleaded guilty Monday in a deal that will carry no more than three months confinement and end the largest and …

Dead Civilians are the Cost of Doing Business

by John Cole|  December 14, 20115:33 pm| 82 Comments

This post is in: War

Sadly, the only people who will be punished for this are the ones who forgot to destroy the documents: One by one, the Marines sat down, swore to tell the truth and began to give secret interviews discussing one of the most horrific episodes of America’s time in Iraq: the 2005 massacre by Marines of …

Who Would Al Qaeda Want To Win The White House?

by Tim F|  February 23, 200811:04 am| 41 Comments

This post is in: Media, Republican Stupidity, War on Terror aka GSAVE®, General Stupidity, Republican Crime Syndicate - aka the Bush Admin.

Let’s think about that for a minute. The last time I checked those guys who attacked us are sitting snug in their Pakistan safe haven while America spends its blood, treasure and credibility stirring chaos in a country that bin Laden meant to chaosify himself if we hadn’t done it for him. Bin Laden attacked …

I Know When I Am Beat

by John Cole|  August 7, 200711:30 am| 182 Comments

This post is in: Military, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing, General Stupidity

I was going to write a snide and condescending post (why stop now?) about the continuing absurd reactions to the latest Beauchamp revelations, but then I read this at the NRO: At this point, if TNR’s defenders engage this story at all — and providing they don’t simply accuse military investigators of coercing Beauchamp into …

GI Not Guilty

by John Cole|  June 2, 200610:26 am| 10 Comments

This post is in: Military, Politics, War on Terror aka GSAVE®, Outrage

While all the Haditha accusations are flying, we have a jury verdict for at least one case of alleged abuse in Afghanistan: In a last, sharp rebuke to Army prosecutors who had charged more than a dozen soldiers with abusing prisoners at a secret military jail in Afghanistan, a military jury on Thursday acquitted a …

Deceit and Disgust

by John Cole|  June 1, 20069:29 am| 33 Comments

This post is in: Military, War, Outrage

More information continues to slowly dribble out in the Haditha mess: The U.S. military investigation of how Marine commanders handled the reporting of events last November in the Iraqi town of Haditha, where troops allegedly killed 24 Iraqi civilians, will conclude that some officers gave false information to their superiors, who then failed to adequately …
