Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

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

Stand up, dammit!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Bark louder, little dog.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The Cover Up Continues

Things like this just infuriate me. While the New York Times is spending 2-3 days devoting numerous precious column inches to the Department of Justice’s OWN report saying there were mistakes made with post 9/11 detainees, the knuckleheads are COMPLETELY missing this cover-up:

One of the 19 suspects in last month’s terrorist bombings in Saudi Arabia was killed Saturday in an exchange of fire in a city in central Saudi Arabia, the state-owned Saudi news agency said, quoting a senior interior ministry official.

The suspect, Yosif Salih Fahd Ala’Yeeri, was also believed to be one of al Qaeda’s leaders in Saudi Arabia.

The statement said he was killed near the city of Turba in an exchange of fire with Saudi security forces. Two security members were killed, and a man who was with Ala’Yeeri was wounded.

The statement was issued Sunday but published in the Saudi daily papers Monday.

Idiots. Harp on the folks who ADMIT they made a mistake and are working to correct it, and ignore the people who are murdering people in the streets to bury the truth. Life really does revolve around getting Bush out of office for the losers at the NY Times.

    John,

    Why are you surprised? Conscientious lefties will often freely admit that the reason they protest the United States and not, say, Zimbabwe, is because our system of government listens, and places like China and Burma don’t.

    ‘Course, this winds up w/ the rest of ’em convinced that we’re actually WORSE (like those who argued that they didn’t believe Dubya any more than they believed Saddam), but, hey, that’s just part of the price, I guess….
