Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

The Un Self-Parody Continues

Via the Emperor, I see this hilarious piece of life imitating farce: (registration required)

The Libyan mission to the UN is urging the community of nations to revoke the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s NGO status if it doesn’t apologize for criticizing Muammar Qaddafi’s human rights record.

At an NGO committee meeting on Friday, Libya, one of 19 nations tasked with reviewing and reaccrediting the world body’s 2,234 non-governmental organizations, demanded a letter of apology from the Wiesenthal Center for denouncing the UN Human Rights Commission’s choice of chairman.

So the Chair of the Human Rights Commission can’t handle free speech. Does this ban include the screams of prisoners being tortured in Tripoli?

    God, won’t someone please kill this thing and put it out of our misery?

    Alas, I fear the UN is like death and taxes…
