Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

This really is a full service blog.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

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

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Petty moves from a petty man.

How Long?

How long before some wingnut European (or former Attorney General Ramsey Clark) declares that the publication of this photograph is a violation of Hussein’s civil rights and the Geneva Convention?

    What’s more disturbing, are we using those “no-face” guys from the X-files… you know, the one played by that guy who was in Cobra with Sylvester Stallone with the two axes that kept calling Sly “pig” all the time?

    I’ve noticed most of the conservative blogs have made absolutely NO mention of the soldiers who were killed in Iraq today.

    It’s so much safer now that Saddam has been captured–CODE ORANGE!!!

    I’ve noticed that most of the pro-war, conservative blogs have made NO mention of the soldiers killed in Iraq. It’s so much safer with Saddam gone…

    I agree with dq. Life was so much better when Saddam was still in power. The sun was a little brighter, the air was a little fresher, and the birds sang their happy little songs a little more happily.

    Ohhhhhh…the dems and imams seem to twitter “Saddam”!
    Every lefty’s mom seems to whisper “Saddam!”

    Norbizness, what’s really disturbing is that you admit to seeing ‘Cobra.’ :)

    Alas, I did as well, but you admitted it first. I remember the ‘pig’ references and his spittle as he was saying it.

    “All right guys….now, let’s set him up here, put his arms in the air, like he’s comming after me. And I’ll stand over here, gun in hand.

    Man, that will be awsome.”

    I liked the hostage scene in Cobra where the bad guy says he’s gonna blow up that supermarket and Stallone says “Go ahead, I don’t shop here”.

    Tarantino, Coppola, and Scorcese just can’t pull off that high quality of writing.

    Cobra isn’t as bad as it gets. There’s a couple of deeper levels, like Tango & Cash, which is a major improvement on Over The Top.

    Once was too much for both those movies.

    Greg, don’t forget the other classic: “You’re the disease. I’m the cure.”

    We need more Cobra open threads, because Jay’s last quote reminds me of Chief Wiggum:

    “Fat Tony is a cancer on this fair city! He is the cancer and I am the … uh … what cures cancer?”

    dq: Maybe some of us haven’t mentioned the soldiers killed in Iraq today because *some* of us have friends over there and are waiting, praying and hoping that it’s not one of them.
