Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

I really should read my own blog.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

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

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

I am sick for a

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!
