Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

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

I really should read my own blog.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

No one could have predicted…

We still have time to mess this up!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

In after Baud. Damn.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

    So, I’m confused. And I don’t even know what color the Terror Threat Level is at the moment. Yellow? Chartreuse? Mauve?

    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.

    It’s not a replacement of professional reporting by any means, but it’s an interesting (and perhaps important) supplement.
