Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Second rate reporter says what?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Dave Cullen discusses the Jack Ryan scandal (via Talk Left).

And, by all means, read Cullen’s Columbine Almanac. Everything you think you know about Columbine- well, you are wrong.

    John,
    Thanks for the link to the site, I am one of those that are interested in many different subjects. Especially with the way that the media portrays itself has being fair and balanced. They jump on a story at the beginning throw what ever they hear from any number of sources then when it is prove wrong they just say that it is their right as the media Then the subject dies a quick death only to be dragged back out when a similiar story happens again or the anniversary comes around, then they tell the same lies and deceits as they did in the original.

    As the divorce papers from John Kerry’s first marriage are still under wraps, I wonder how long it will be before some media folks go after them.

    He should just show everyone pictured of his ex-wife. I sure understand what he did.
