Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

This fight is for everything.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

This blog will pay for itself.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

I think I am getting Gary Farber syndrome. I just heard this on the local radio news:

They took the youth to the edge of the lake, made him strip off his clothes, and then they beat him and tried to drown him repeatedly.

And my only thought was- “How do you drown someone repeatedly?”

    Repeatedly trying to drown him might instead be the way to go. But remember: there is no try; there is only do.

    Was the youth’s name “Rasputin”?

    Does drowning necessarily end in death? Not sure on the semantics there. If not, you could repeatedly drown with bouts of CPR in between.

    Indeed, that appears to be what the CIA’s been doing with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. No permanent organ damage, though, so it’s not torture or anything … heck, you could probably waterboard your kids when they don’t clean their rooms!

    “…tried to drown him repeatedly.”

    Since they failed, they wer efree to keep trying. Had they succeeded, they’d just be dunking a dead body…

    As usual, Buffy Summers has a topical quote here:

    I hate it when they drown me.

    –Buffy Summers, in “Bad Girls.”
