Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

In my day, never was longer.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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

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

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

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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.
