Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

“Alexa, change the president.”

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We will not go back.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Bark louder, little dog.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

I’ll Just Wait

Rather than commenting now, I am going to just sit back and wait to see how this is blamed on the United States:

American investigators looking into the suicide bombing of the United Nations compound on Tuesday are focusing on the possibility that the attackers were assisted by Iraqi security guards who worked there, a senior American official here said today.

The official said all of the guards at the compound were agents of the Iraqi secret services, to whom they reported on United Nations activities before the war. The United Nations continued to employ them after the war was over, the official said.

The official said that when investigators began questioning the guards, two of them asserted that they were entitled to “diplomatic immunity” and refused to cooperate. Diplomats working in foreign countries are often entitled to immunity from prosecution by local authorities, but the official said the two guards could make no such claim.

The article once agin restates that the UN rejected American offers to help with security.

    It’s because we’d do it so unilaterally, and all. You’d think they’d bring in some troops from somewhere trustworthy and brave, yet uninvolved in GWII. Switzerland? Sweden?

    This is a hard lesson for the U.N., indeed. I fear that some of the best have fallen.
