Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Second rate reporter says what?

Infrastructure week. at last.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

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

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Tacitus has a great post about the extent of Ba’athist loyalty and why the 3rd ID is in theatre longer than expected.

Before people start crowing about “how the military didn’t have a plan,” let me nip that nonsense in the bud and point out that this is the sort of unforeseen development for which you simply can not plan. At any rate, go read.
