Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

All hail the time of the bunny!

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

In my day, never was longer.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Via the Opinion Journal, this shocker:

A Sikh man has received a five-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to the bombing of an Air India jet in 1985, which killed all the passengers on board.

Inderjit Singh Reyat – who has British and Canadian citizenship – was charged by a Canadian court with 329 counts of manslaughter – one for each of the people who died in the blast.

Two other men also stand accused in connection with the bombing.

The sentencing came as a surprise, although prosecution lawyers say they now concede that Reyat’s role in the bombing was relatively small.

Reyat, a former worker at Jaguar’s UK car plant in Coventry, stood but said nothing as his punishment was read out in court.
If I ever need a lawyer, I am calling this guy.
