Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The willow is too close to the house.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

When we show up, we win.

Leave the Man Alone

This is just stupid beyond words:

Whether it is a breakfast of cereal at his 3STH (Third Street town house) near the Capitol, his clothing for the day or the sports telecast he watches before pronouncing himself ready for sleep at his MLTH (Miami Lakes town house), Mr. Graham jots it down. And he has done so religiously since his first race for governor, in 1977, when he wanted to make sure he got the name of every possible supporter of his underdog campaign.

Now, as he seeks the nation’s highest office, the questions must be posed: Are American voters ready for a president who could all but moonlight as a stenographer? Is his habit a disqualifying eccentricity?

They have actually bullied Graham so much that he has had to release parts of his PRIVATE diary so they don’t think he is a nutcase. His private diary. Idiots.

    Sheesh…. I guess Graham is too centrist for the NYT. Or maybe just too much of a hawk.

    Has the NYT picked their favorite yet? Is that why they’re slamming Graham, one of the few (two, imo, maybe three) who stands a fraction of a chance against Bush without a major calamity helping them along?

    My take has always been this… Graham should put those notes on the web. Heck, he’s been “primative” blogging years before Howard Dean has touched a keyboard….
