Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Celebrate the fucking wins.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Books are my comfort food!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

TAPPED needs a Mirror

From Tapped:

Outrage is, of course, the stock-in-trade of your average conservative journalist on campus — their own outrage at everything, and their wish to outrage everyone else. How tedious.

They should read their own site and then check their links list if they want a lesson in continuous and ridiculous outrage. This from the people who linked to this bile. When not writing about the SOTU, Mr. Ehrenstein has enlightened thoughts about race:

“On Friday, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said that while race-neutral practices are “preferable,” race can be used as “one factor among others” to achieve the goal of racial diversity on campus.”

Then she put the handkerchief back on her head and proceeded to brush-scrub the White House floors. But seriously folks —

“In the briefs, the Bush administration did not address the question of whether race could ever be considered a factor in making admissions decisions.”

Meaning that it’s considered a factor.

One must either be white or turn on one’s own race in slavish support of whites.

Deep thinking from the fringe.

    Oh, there’s more from Tapped’s source:

    http://fablog.ehrensteinland.com/archives/000031.shtml#000031

    “Lott told BET Monday that after talking with a number of black leaders in recent days, including Reps. J.C. Watts, R-Oklahoma, and John Lewis, D-Georgia, he sees the need for a bipartisan, multi-racial “task force of reconciliation.”

    Reconciliation between a house nigger like Watts and free and proud African-American like Lewis? Not likely. ”
