Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Come on, man.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

We still have time to mess this up!

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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

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

First They Came for the Copy Editors

I had to read this sentence three times before it made sense:

Mr. Bush is popular in countries like Georgia, where his vision of spreading democracy is embraced, and seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.

I should be the last person commenting on things like this, but this seemed particularly awkward.

    It’s grammatically correct as well as extremely funny.

    Old version: “and seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.”

    My new version: “and HE seems a lot looser than in his visits to Germany and France.”

    More better Kimmitt?

    I’m gonna guess Bumiller wrote that gem. Let’s see if I’m right.
