Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

This fight is for everything.

Consistently wrong since 2002

This really is a full service blog.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

This Has to Be Killing the French

I bet they just hate this:
Shaking off a crash that left him lying on the road, Lance Armstrong the dominator reappeared in the Tour de France today, winning the major stage in the Pyrenees, significantly widening his overall lead and taking a big step toward his fifth consecutive victory.

After he hit a spectator and went down early on the last of six climbs, he told himself, he said later,”Lance, if you want to win the Tour, attack.”

Damn simplistic Americans. Always attacking. And he’s a Texan to boot. Maybe we should have the Belgians charge him with Human Rights Violations.

    Do the French cyclists imagine there’s a battle behind them?

    I don’t know if it’s like this every year, but hasn’t the Tour de France looked a little like a hockey game this year?

    Every couple of days, someone’s putting a hit on Lance, and he just gets back on his skates, er, bike.
