Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

The lights are all blinking red.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

This blog will pay for itself.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Not all heroes wear capes.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I hope they get him and the rest of the team:

An Afghan government official said today that an upswing in Taliban violence would not derail parliamentary elections, and the United States acknowledged that a bombing raid in eastern Afghanistan last week had killed civilians.

Also Monday, an Afghan provincial governor said that a second member of an American special operations unit had been located, and that Afghan forces were attempting to reach him.

“He is in a civilian’s house. He is injured,” Asadullah Wafa, governor of Kunar Province said, according to The Associated Press.

    How easy is it to fragment a SEAL team? This doesn’t bode well for a team which is presumably trained to stick together or die.

    No good news, 2 of the 4 were found deceased according to NPR. There’s still one that’s of questionable status.
