Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

Distracted?

More evidence that the War in Iraq has distracted us from the War on Terror:

Three men charged as part of a local jihad network have pleaded guilty to conspiracy and gun charges, with one admitting in federal court yesterday that he trained with firearms in Northern Virginia to prepare for a possible mission fighting for Muslims abroad.

Yong Ki Kwon, 27, told a federal judge in Alexandria that he also trained in Pakistan at a camp run by the Lashkar-i-Taiba organization, which is fighting to end Indian control over much of Kashmir and has been designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government. At the camp, he said, he fired weapons ranging from machine guns to rocket-propelled grenades.
