Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

You know he’s going to shit a cat.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Books are my comfort food!

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Damn Saudis

While the left will have a collective hissy fit over Bush declaring six prisoners fit for trial by military tribunal, they will completely miss this:

The top suspect wanted in the Riyadh suicide bombing was killed along with three other militants in a gunbattle Thursday when police raided their hideout in northern Saudi Arabia, officials said. al-Qaeda member Turki Nasser al-Dandani had been the kingdom’s most wanted man after the suspected mastermind of the Riyadh attacks turned himself in over the weekend.

Mighty convenient how these terrorists keep getting killed in raids or shot up in a crossfire before they get a chance to talk. This is not a coincidence or accident that this is happening in Saudi Arabia. The bastards are burying the evidence- literally.

    John:
    Good catch, though the Saudis don’t limit themselves knocking off “suspected terrorists”. The Royals seem to have a knack for having fatal “car accidents”.
    Fortunately, as an infidel Zionist, the Kingdom won’t be lettin’ ME in!!!

    Yeah, the Nat Guard Barracks bombing they beheaded them even though the FBI wanted to interview them.

    I can explain the entire 9-11 investigation for you in three sentences.

    9-12-01: “The trail can lead anywhere as long as it doesn’t lead to Saudi Arabia.”

    9-12-02: “The trail can lead anywhere as long as it leads to Iraq.”

    9-12-03: “The trail can lead anywhere as long as it leads to Iran.”

    Well, it’s a big step forward from indefinite detention without charge, incommunicado.

    We all, left and right applaud the execution of mass murderers, – now if the Saudi’s will only quit lavishly funding the jihadist islamic murder gangs, and teaching four-year-olds to kill jews and infidels, – we’ll believe they are actually concerned about more than petro dollars.

    You have to expect this sort of thing from a face-oriented culture. Remember, the Saudis get their hearts started in the morning by screaming insults at one another. Though the conceal-the-evidence angle on it is also attractive, and deserves to be explored further.
