Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This fight is for everything.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Let’s finish the job.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This is Truly Excellent

Via Calpundit, a computerized “Twenty Questions.”

I stumped it, in a sense, even though I gave it credit. My thing was a vodka tonic, and the machine guessed “Gin and tonic.” It shockedthe hell out of me because the questions seemed to be getting broader and I was starting to become convinced it would never get it. Then it guessed, and Iwas so shocked that it was that close that I just gave it credit. After all- how is it supposed to know my drink of preference?
