Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

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

In my day, never was longer.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

This really is a full service blog.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Battle won, war still ongoing.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

I was promised a recession.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The Funny French

This is hysterical:

France has announced it could assist any US-led military coalition if Iraq uses chemical and biological weapons.

The turnaround comes after strong French opposition to a war in Iraq, including threats to veto a UN Security Council resolution paving the way for armed conflict.

French ambassador Jean-David Levitte said: “If Saddam Hussein were to use chemical and biological weapons, this would change the situation completely and immediately for the French government.”

How could they use chemical weapons? I thought that he had none, and that the inspections were working. He has disarmed, and this is only a unilateral war for oil and for global hegemony. Or revenge for Dubya’s daddy? I am so confused.
