Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

Books are my comfort food!

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

    No, man – she’s Reason #1.

    Tall, blonde, and extremely well-put-together. That’s hard to beat.

    Why was I not told that this year’s Olympics included gratuitous softcore lesbian scenes? Why were none of us told, in fact?

    I was fairly unimpressed at the too-skinny waif for the first few pics.

    But that last shot, man. God bless America!

    To expand on Moe’s excellent point, I’d suggest that “gratuitous softcore lesbian scenes” be made into an Olympic Event. Gold medals all around.

    I wouldn’t call her a “waif”. She’s skinny, but in an extremely fit, ‘kick-your-ass’ kind of way.

    Perhaps. And perhaps not.

    I am willing to find out, though.

    Tush is too thin– like those anorexic models that the swishy fashion crowd get so excited over.

    Bring on the Brazilians and the Africans.

    I have to point out that two of the American players are named “Misty May” and “Holly McPeaks”. You can’t make stuff like that up.

    So this Olympic event is like the bikini phase of a beauty contest but without the distractions of the evening gown, talent contest and the silly question phase.

    Nice.

    It is disgusting, these displays of the naked body. Allah does not like this!

    I should also point out that one of the Brazilian women playing the Americans, Adriana Behar was extremely ugly, especially when she bared her teeth to sile – kinda looked like a ghoulish skull mocking May and Walsh!!!

    What about reason 69?

    Oh, what? Come on!

    You were all thinking it; someone had to say it. I’ll take one for the team and put it out there.

    See what a benelovent dictator I would be?

    I’m thinking no one is remembering a swimmer from the Sydney Olympics, named Misty Hyman. I just love that name.

    Here’s another reason to like the Olympics. The winners come home and get honored at ballgames. Carly Piper is hot.

    It’s not my fault [UPDATED]

    Just like the chubbos who sue McDonald’s, smokers who sue Phillip Morris, bad drivers who sue Ford, it’s not my fault! After all the comments about Beach Volleyball, and Catwomen, and chicks kissing each other, I had absolutely no willpower…

    Aah… the Olympics

    Even though I prefer Misty May, here are some reasons you should be watching the olympics. Makes me think of…
