Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans in disarray!

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

What is going on here?

Zimbabwe held a U.S.-registered cargo plane Monday which the government said was carrying suspected mercenaries and a cargo of military gear.

The United States said it had no connection with the plane, whose origin and destination remained a mystery.

The aging Boeing 727-100 aircraft was impounded Sunday evening at Harare International Airport “after its owners had made a false declaration of its cargo and crew,” Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi said in a statement.

“The plane was actually carrying 64 suspected mercenaries of various nationalities,” Mohadi said, adding an investigation had also found military materiel. Television pictures showed hardware such as satellite telephones and military knives.

Authorities said no formal charges had been made, and investigations were under way to establish the identities of passengers on the seized plane and the nature of their trip.

Wasn’t there some rumor about a missing plane in Africa several months back?
