Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

I was promised a recession.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Islam, the ‘Peaceful’ Religion.

Afghan pilgrims kill transport minister

DUBAI (Reuters) – Afghan Muslim pilgrims, angry over plane delays, have attacked and killed Afghanistan’s interim transport minister at Kabul airport, Arabic-language al-Jazeera television has reported.

It quoted its reporter in the Afghan capital as saying Air Transport and Tourism Minister Abdul Rahman had gone to the airport to leave on a trip abroad when he was attacked on Thursday by a large number of disgruntled pilgrims awaiting flights to Saudi Arabia.

There was no immediate confirmation of the report by Afghan officials. Foreign journalists were unable to go to the airport to check on reports of a disturbance there because of a curfew.

More than 5,000 Afghans planning to leave for the annual haj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia have been told that foreign aircraft are being leased for the trip as Afghanistan’s Ariana airline has only one functioning plane, Afghan-based reporters said.

Saudi officials have said pilgrims coming from abroad must arrive by Sunday to be able to perform haj, one of Islam’s five pillars.
