Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

Sayeth Rich Lowry:

The debate has now been settled: John Kerry definitely served in Vietnam.

That was a major point of the Democratic Convention and of Kerry’s acceptance speech. This must be one of the great acts of chutzpah of all time: The party that made national politics safe for Vietnam draft avoiders in 1992 now considers Vietnam service arguably the foremost qualification for the presidency. But, hey, the Democrats are now the party of militaristic display and cultural conservatism.

    At the risk of parroting the FOXTV-News “Beltway Boys,” I want to know when John F. Kerry became a freekin’ hawk!

    Or is it politically expedient for him to “act” like one to attract anti-terrorist voters that might otherwise vote for W?

    I’m going out on the proverbial limb but I think the voting populace is a tad smarter than to believe that Kerry suddenly saw the light and is campaigning against his lifelong dovish record.
