Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Giving up is unforgivable.

So many bastards, so little time.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

John Hawkins has scooped the mainstream press (again) with a whole history of Rush, pain killers, and hearing loss.

A must read.

    I don’t know that he scooped anybody – he links to New York daily news and promises to write more after he picks up the latest issue of the National Inquirer.

    Scooped? All of his breathless updates come from the mainstream press.

    The moneyshot is when Hawkins claims “There’s more in there, but Rush looks to be in good shape at this point…”

    Good shape? Let’s see. Limbaugh’s addicted to narcotics–they’ve nearly killed him at least once, he’s just cemented his reputation as a racist, a phony and a hypocrite, he’s a target in a criminal probe, he’s a laughingstock, he’s lost his ‘dream job’…and Hawkins deems him to be “in good shape.”

    Whew. I’d hate to see what Hawkins thinks is “bad shape.”

    But I’d not worry about Limbaugh going to prison. Conservatives have a long history of admiring convicted felons: Liddy, North, Hedgecock, etc.

    Not to mention Cole’s fave: Timmy McVeigh.

    Pointing out that there was no scoop = trolling.
