Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

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

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

    Well, NBC News is reporting a bomb scare in Birmingham, complete with evacuations, and supported with footage.

    I just think it’s fascinating how fast we can receive information of a developing news event using new technologies such at technorati and flickr. I had pictures and firsthand accounts posted on my site before the BBC even had a full report.
