Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Come on, man.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

This fight is for everything.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Everybody saw this coming.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The ‘Elite’ Republican Guard

From Reuters and IOL:

United States Marines seized a key bridge over the Tigris river in central Iraq on Wednesday and took control of the main Highway 6 from Kut to Baghdad, a senior Marine officer said.

“That’s the last big bridge we needed for an advance on Baghdad,” the officer told Reuters correspondent Sean Maguire near Kut. “This was the plan. It’s been successful.”

“Today’s action is a major move. There’s still tank battles continuing,” the officer added, saying the Baghdad Division of Iraq’s Republican Guard, based at Kut, was now “irrelevant”.
