Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The Irony of It All

The American Prospect staff, in another anonymous posting on their political blog Tapped, heaps praise on the NY Times, for, of all things, transparency:

THE NEW TRANSPARECY. Check it out! The New York Times has launched a page with bios and headshots of the paper’s editorial board members. Great idea! Tapped hopes The Washington Post follows the example and does the same. Posted at 01:34 PM

Apparently the irony of it all has escaped them. And they are the ones who misspelled transparency.

    Dude. Commenting on misspelling on other blogs? You’re the one who mispelled ‘Rickey’ (see below).

    Jonas, I was making fun of the fact that they are saluting the transparency at the NY Times, while ALL OF THEIR POSTS ARE ANONYMOUS.

    I mentioned that they misspelled transparency so that 50 people wouldn’t tell me that I had screwed it up.
