Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Shelter in place is one thing. Shelter in pants is quite another.

This fight is for everything.

I personally stopped the public option…

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I swear, each month of 2020 will have its own history degree.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

What fresh hell is this?

Let there be snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

Just a few bad apples.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Boehner Cried Over the Government Shutdown — SHOCKING!

No orange, No cry

Boehner’s blubbering again — probably because he’s super sad that he can’t control the idiotic petulant Teabillies:

John Boehner was driven to tears again today. This time it happened at a closed-door meeting of House Republicans.

According to sources inside the meeting, Boehner it happened while Boehner was speaking to the group about the latest on his negotiations with Democrats over government funding. Boehner talked about his meeting yesterday with President Obama and then, in a rousing conclusion, he thanked the House Republicans for standing by him and supporting him through these tense negotiations.

The Republican conference responded with a standing ovation for their speaker.

As you could imagine, that prompted the Speaker to cry.

“Yes,” said one person at the meeting, “He cried, but only briefly.”

So, to sum up: NANCY SMASH! and BOEHNER BLUBBER!

 

Hey John? You’re getting orange tanner all over the upholstery. Get your shit together.

    It seems pretty clear from watching the evening news, between the Chris Christie/John Boehner twin blowjobs on ABC, which featured Jake Tapper telling us how President Obama will definitely get paid in the shutdown, but Boehner did not want to get paid, to reminding us that this is the Democrats’ fault for not passing a budget last year to the wonderful fellatios of Paul Ryan on Fox and NBC, that the media is going on a all out assault on the Democrats this time.

    Don’t expect a repeat of 1995.

    Would it be too elitist of me to suggest that Boehner may actually suffer from undiagnosed and untreated emotional instability? I mean, setting aside the need for attention and the desire to manipulate by whatever means possible, that is.

    Someone needs to make a short clip of orange crap sloughing off of Boehner’s face as he’s bawling, with the end shot being of his true lizard countenance and an evil grin.

    It would go viral in a heartbeat.

    I’m from almost the exact same background as Boehner is–midwestern, blue-collar, catholic boys’ high school–and man-weeping just doesn’t cut it in that crowd.

    Where did he pick up this habit?

    I think this has already been (widely) suggested and there is likely some validity to the observation.

    If there was only something substantive to criticize Boehner for!

    Seriously, who gives a fuck that he cries? He’s a lying scumbag who wants to kill your grandmother. Crying, even if he’s lying about that too, merely makes him look more human than he deserves.

    I have known more than one person who cries easily. It is a part of their personality. They would cry at things that didn’t seem sad.
    This doesn’t bother me.

    back in the day, if Boner were a woman he would have been given a prescription for tranquilizers for his “delicate condition”… oh, and carted off to “rest up” in a sanitarium.

    if Pelosi or any woman in congress cried as much as this turd, they’d be flushed during their next election.

    they are tears of courage! tears of power, little known fact, every time sun tzu won a battle, or completed a chapter, or got a request for a rewrite from his publisher, he cried.

    some lisa lisa and the cult jam dedicated to our national hero, the man who is the supernaturally complected iron eyes cody of good government.

    And you, don’t you know my tears will burn the pillow
    Set this place on fire ’cause I’m tired of your lies
    All I needed was a simple “Hello”
    But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear my cry

    Ah, I gave you my love in vain
    My body never knew such pleasure
    My heart never knew such pain
    And you, you leave me so confused
    Now I’m all cried out over you

    Oh, you. All over you, oooh.

    Never wanted to see things you way
    I had to go astray, oh, why was I such a fool?
    Now I see that the grass is greener [why oh why]
    Is it too late for me to find my way home,
    How could I be so wrong? [Leavin’ me all alone]

    Don’t you know the heart will cause an inferno
    Romance up in flames, why should I take the blame
    You were the one who left me neglected [I’m so sorry]
    Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you collected

    @aimai: yup! remember when hillary got chocked up for a nanosecond? how long did we hear about it? crikey.

    i’m not saying the man is a pussy. in the words of rosey grier, “it’s all right to cry; crying takes the sad out of you.”

    but for fuck’s sake. is it necessary to cry every time someone claps for you?

    and if he is a drunk, then homey needs to handle that business.

    @Dee Loralei:

    That vibrator thing is totally true. I’ll never forget learning that while researching a term paper in a women’s history class in college. I found it funny and disturbing all at once. The tool the patriarchy handed out to women who wouldn’t knuckle under to them was actually an instrument many of those women used to attain a form of self-actualization and, at least in one area of their lives, take control away from men. And putting it in the women’s own hands, so to speak.

    Boehner really IS a pussy!

    Aren’t there porn sites for that stuff?

    No orange, no cry

    Said I remember when we used to shut
    The government down in D C
    Then Teabaggers would make the fire light
    And Dems were burnin’ through the night
    Then we would cook the books a little more
    Tax cuts, I’ll share with me

    My bottle is my only carriage
    So I’ve got to drink on through
    But while I sob …

    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright
    All the rich are gonna be alright

    No Boehner, no cry
    No, no Boehner, no cry
    Oh little pussy, don’t shed no tears
    No Boehner, no cry

    My apologies for defiling a great, great song

    Get up, stand up
    Stand up for your rights
    Get up, stand up
    Don’t give up the fight

    etc.

    Most people think
    great God will come from the sky
    take away everything
    and make everybody feel high

    you will look for yours on earth….

    I know where his sentiments were. I just hate the idea of sullying (as opposed to Sully-ing, of course) his creation by inserting references to that lying, crying, orange mofo.

    “Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty…the wet eyes of the sentimentalist betray his aversion to experience, his fear of life, his arid heart; and it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent humanity, the mark of cruelty.“

    -James Baldwin, “Everbody’s Protest Novel” (1949).
