Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

We still have time to mess this up!

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Kerry and Edwards are not gay, and if they were, who cares.

Idiot homophobes.

*** Update ***

The Instapundit links to two flash videos that demonstrate how stupid this whole Kerry/Edwards touching thing is.

    I think you’re over-reacting John. I’m certain the CJR is, for printing that buffoonish column.

    Politics is a contact sport, but that don’t mean constant touching. So jokes get made; no one is hurt.

    Cordially…

    there will be, no doubt about it, Bush voters galvanized by this line of attack. Rove + pals probably know exactly how many. They’ll be giving every prejudice a little drop of fertilizer in the coming months. Just enough so that the homophobes know who to vote for and turn out on the day. Moonies! They sure know.

    On the one hand, I agree that John and John are not gay. Obviously any insinuations to the contrary are ridiculous, and criticisms based on such insinuations nothing but frosting.

    On the other hand, except to the extent that people actually believe their incessant touching is a strike against them (as in the Washington Times article), making fun of politicians is older than time, and shouldn’t be criticized as such. “Bush is dumb!” is cheap mockery, but if you like cheap mockery, more power to you. I don’t read humorous posts on blogs (for example) and assume that the humor directly translates into a legitimate policy reason to vote to or for anyone, but I certainly enjoy laughing at the humorous blogs.
