Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

People are weird.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

This Bob Schieffer rant on the TSA and the ‘bow and arrow lobby’ was pretty damned amusing.

    I’m not boarding another plane unless I can bring my Bazooka.

    ha! I am 6’3” so every flight is a painful ordeal to me. Why not just pump us full of sleaping gas and stow us away on shelves? Hell, I really, really, really wish they would. Not only would it be secure, but would be fast and comfortable. Gonna be delayed? So what — just give us another dose. No need to wake me for the bad TV dinner and shitty movie that I can only hear in one ear because of the crappy, ear-wax encrusted headphones.

    on a related note, look at who wants to exempt themselves from those long, tedious lines:

    The Aug. 5 memo recommends reducing patdowns by giving screeners the discretion not to search those wearing tight-fitting clothes. It also suggests exempting several categories of passengers from screening, including federal judges, members of Congress, Cabinet members, state governors, high-ranking military officers and those with high-level security clearances.

    They are going to allow icepicks again? Haven’t they seen Basic Instinct?

    I’m guessing archers traviling to a competition might want to be able to bring their bow with them. Don’t know if storing them in the hold would be bad though. Anyway really don’t think you could hold up the passengers with a bow and arrows. I guess you could do some damage with just an arrow though.

    Are they going to allow crossbows too?

    Being a big bugger myself (6’4″ 270lbs) I am forced to wonder who I might kill with a pair of nail clippers that I could not kill with my bare hands.

    BTW: Never ask this question to an airport screener unless you have a couple of days to kill.
