Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The National Guard is not Batman.

This fight is for everything.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

    Does that mean, Meezer, that it’s OK to break the law if the victims aren’t legal immigrants?

    Hey, don’t you know there’s a War on Terror on? We don’t have time for such niceties as civil rights and oversight of law-enforcement bodies. Wake up, America!

    Which is exactly why John keeps sweeping this stuff under the carpet, Kimmitt.

    Depends on who I’m agitating to get to be the next President, in my opinion.

    Agitating, eh? I’ll try to keep that in mind when deciding which of your posts are worth responding to. Is Kimmitt actually attempting to make a reasoned point, here, or merely agitating?

    Screw it. I don’t want to work that hard.

    The two are not at all incompatible.
