Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

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

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Republicans in disarray!

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Gimme A Break

Alex Knapp rightly skewers Sam brownback for his anti-cloning legislation and this ludicrous op-ed in the National Review.

You remember the Raelians– the cultists who are a step above Heaven’s Gate crowd– the morons who claimed to have cloned a baby- Brownback is terrified of them, and he thinks you should be too:

Let’s be clear, the Raelians and those interested in human-cloning research seek to create human life through a process of human cloning that a vast majority of Americans clearly oppose. The threat presented to us by the Raelians is one that should refocus our attention on the immediacy of passing a permanent and comprehensive ban on all human cloning.

The only threat the Raelians present to anyone is to their own credibility.
