Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

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

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Mary McGrory’s New Crisis:

And it is not her hair:

Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.), the premier calamity collector of the House of Representatives, is just back from a country we’d rather not think about, and telling us things we’d rather not know. As usual, he is demanding that attention be paid.

This time it’s the famine in Ethiopia, one of those loser countries where Wolf feels most at home. He’s warning Congress and the White House of the urgency of the situation and the prospect that millions of Ethiopians will die if help is not on its way soon.

To Wolf, the Ethiopian famine is an “opportunity” for George W. Bush. “I think he really cares about these things and wants to do the right thing,” he says. He must use the bully pulpit to rally people and increase our aid to set an example to the world.

I am not sure if it is an opportunity- but it is the right thing to do. Great nations do the right thing, not for accolades and awards, but for it simply being the right thing to do.

    I was shocked when I read the article by Mary McGrory on the post.
    Did she realized that this article can be read by millions and millions around the globe.
    Ethiopia owe formal apologie from the writer.
