Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Second rate reporter says what?

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Life is Like A Box of Chocolates

Stupid is as stupid does:

You saw it first on News 4! A man is behind bars after he survived a daring jump over the mighty Niagara Falls.

Witnesses watched in horror Monday as the man took the dangerous plunge. But he somehow got the the bottom alive and managed to crawl to safety.

Police are not releasing his name, only that he is a U.S. citizen. No word yet on what charges he’ll face.

Investigators are also questioning the man’s friend who videotaped the whole thing.

This is the first known instance that someone has survived a plunge over the falls with no safety devices.

Groan.

    What exactly is he going to be charged with? Tresspassing maybe?

    I believe going over the falls in any type of craft is illegal. However, since no craft was used, I don’t know if he found a loophole or not.

    But, reports are surfacing that the first words out of the guys mouth when picked up were, “Eat that Johnny Knoxville!”
