Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republicans in disarray!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Justin Hart at Right Side Redux has created a very subjective Gartner-style quadrant chart to map out responses to the Miers nomination.

It would be interesting if he would include bloggers in a similar chart.

    Repeat after me: When you are so far to the right, everything looks liberal.

    But, his chart is screwed up, it definately shows his bias that Miers in Unqualified, period. I think you would find a much higher majority of elected democrats in the “wait and see” catagory.

    Because you never know who might grease your palm at the right time.

    I get the feeling Ross Perot may start stalking Justin Hart now…

    Yikes…Ann Coulter and Daily Kos in agreement. I think that’s one of the signs of the Apocalypse, isn’t it?
