Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

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

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

No one could have predicted…

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Carnival of the RINOS

I forgot to submit something this week, but the RINO festival is up at All Things Jennifer. I haven’t had time to check it out yet, but I am sure there is something interesting there for everyone.

Almost forgot- The Bills suck, Jennifer. Go Steelers!

*** Update ***

Don’t miss the Robert C. Byrd* Carnival of the Hillbillies, either.

*Byrd, as Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, funnelled so much money the state that virtually everything is named after him. Thus, it is only fitting that we name the weekly WV blogger digest after him.

    The New York Football Giants rule.
    I feel extra sorry for the Washington Foreskins’ fans. Although, this is the first time in about 10 years that they haven’t won the Super Bowl in August so maybe they will actually have a team.

    I have meant to mention the ad for the DirecTv football package, Sunday Ticket, where a bunch of fat guys are dancing and singing with some players, like Peyton Manning.
    I have the package and I can truthfully say, without hyperbole, that commercial is the way I feel. If anything, it’s too mild a reaction.

    “I have the Sunday Ticket, I have the Sunday Ticket, this at how watching football games should be.”

    I’m getting a stiffy just thinking about it. It’s August, training camp is on and football is a month away.
    Woo-hoo.
