Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Let there be snark.

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

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The revolution will be supervised.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Giving the Finger To This Meme

Apparently, the left wing of the blogosphere is all atwitter about Bush giving the finger to reporters. Barry Johnson at Cynical Nation gives this whole silliness the finger.

Literally. Pictures and everything.

    Hey John, off topic here but I was wondering what your opinion is of guys like Russ Feingold, far left politicians who you probably disagree with 90% of the time, but who don’t fall into the “looney left” and are generally considered good men/women with lots of integrity.

    I guess I’m just curious how partisan you are when it comes to voting, like would you vote for Feingold (not to pick on him) over someone like Santorum or Frist in a presidential election?

    In general, who are some realistic presidential dem contenders you would at least consider voting for?

    Oh, and I was wondering what you think about Wes Clark.

    At first I felt silly asking these question, but I guess the point of visiting your blog is to get your take on things, so I hope you don’t mind me picking your brain like this!

    It looked like the finger at first but I’m sure its his thumb.

    Jay Leno showed it last night. I thought it was a joke and that he had doctored it. It does look like he is flippin’ the bird….though, I find the ‘thumbs up’ much more believable.

    I think the whole thing is pretty funny.

    I may have to re-think my previous position that Bush is a lousy communicator.

    I’m glad the president is flipping off the MSM. As when Dick Cheney told that Democratic Senator to “go f**k himself”, it’s about time someone did something like that.

    Glad that somebody cleared that up. God knows Bush would never do that.

    Boo hoo. Suddenly the Right is offended by FAUX outrage instead of manufacturing it.

    Bush and Cheney and the other warmongers curse and give the finger in public because they dont give a damn about anything except power.
