Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Petty moves from a petty man.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

This really is a full service blog.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Mor Al Qaeda agents have been captured in Pakistan:

Pakistani authorities have arrested two high-ranking al-Qaida terrorists one with a multimillion-dollar U.S. bounty on his head in a days-long sweep that has netted at least six suspected militants, officials said Tuesday.

The interior minister said the arrests in eastern Punjab province were a major break just days after intelligence agents arrested Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian wanted for the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa.

Predictably, the Washington Monthly is pissed.

    The Rumsfeld Test

    Pakistanis arrested this guy, and, reportedly, received information that led to this raid in England. Now the Pakistanis have arrested two South African members of al Qaeda. Maybe it’s an appropriate time to take The Rumsfeld Test. Last year, when…
