Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Come on, man.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

This fight is for everything.

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.
