Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Republicans in disarray!

The willow is too close to the house.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Come on, man.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

So you get beaten like

So you get beaten like a rented mule in front of an audience of 1.5 billion people. No problem. Soccer sportswriters around the world, in an apparent attempt to turn off more Americans and to make themselves seem more laughable, have just awarded the Golden Ball to the LOSING goalkeeper, Oliver Kahn. That means the person who treated him like a red-headed stepchild, Ronaldo, has been snubbed.

This is akin to awarding Mike Tyson the MVP award for the last Tyson-Lewis fight.
