Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

You cannot shame the shameless.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Congrats, Mr. Affleck:

If his movie career fizzles, Ben Affleck may have a fallback that pays pretty well.

He’s won more than 356-thousand dollars playing poker in California.

The actor outlasted a field of 90 players at the three-day tournament in Commerce that ended Sunday. Fellow actor Tobey Maguire went out on the first day.

Affleck’s win also earns him a 25-thousand dollar seat at the World Poker Tour Championship next April in Las Vegas.

If poker is your thing, make sureyou hit the Fat Guy’s and check out his long list of Poker Bloggers.
