Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Please don’t feed the bears.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Cole is on a roll !

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The revolution will be supervised.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Cross Your Fingers

An update on the missing SEAL in Afghanistan:

A purported Taliban spokesman said Saturday that the group has beheaded a missing American commando, but he offered no proof and the U.S. military said it was still searching for the Navy SEAL.

The commando is the last of a four-member elite commando team missing since June 28 in Kunar, near the Pakistani border. One of the men was rescued and the other two were found dead.

“This morning in Shagal district in Kunar province, the Taliban killed the American soldier and cut his head off,” Mullah Latif Hakimi, the purported spokesman, told The Associated Press in a telephone call. “We left the body on a mountainside in this area so Afghan or U.S. soldiers there can find it.”

Hakimi repeatedly has said the rebels were holding the commando. But information from him in the past has frequently proven exaggerated or untrue, and his exact tie to the Taliban leadership cannot be independently verified.

U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jerry O’Hara said “the search for the commando continued.

“The only proof we have is that he is missing,” he said. “We will run down these reports to see if anything thing pans out.”

Hope they find him, and fast.
