Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

    I will indulge your wishes if you all want a Westernized, unpopular regime in Iraq, and I too shall gloat in its troubles, but it will not be done at my expense.

    Even a criminal like myself is shocked that millions are not able to get health insurance and cannot pay for basic surgery.

    I think he’s a centrist. He’s got my vote.

    Good stuff, John. Do yourself a favor and rent “The Limey,” Terrence Stamp (Zod) is just as cool as an older, non-superpowered bad-ass.

    Q: General Zod, I am voting for your esteemed opponent, Hillary Clinton.

    A: Why do you say these things to me when you know I will kill you for it?

    Q. General Zod, what is your opponent’s weakness?

    A. She cares for these peop…hahaha I almost got it out with a straight face!

    A more stylish choice.

    I can see it now: “A cowbell in every home”

    Speaking of Zod’s health care plan, here’s a plan from Walmart to control health costs (by hiring more part time workers, firing older workers and making workers pay double for spousal coverage… oh, and shrinking 401k coverage). I was (seriously) shocked to find out the following:

    Ms. Chambers acknowledged that 46 percent of the children of Wal-Mart’s 1.33 million United States employees were uninsured or on Medicaid.

    Go free market economy, right?

    Look, everyone knows that Zod is just your typical wine-sipping East Coast effete liberal. I heard that he even faked the wounds he claims to have suffered in the Great Vooron Uprising of 2302! Sure, go ahead and vote for Zod if you want the provinces of Upper Darbonia and New Gelflag to be attacked by Mutant Lizard Terrorists. But those of us who are loyal to The Second Galactic Quadrant and who truly love The Great And Beneficient Entity From Above will vote for Vice-Admiral Blegnar in the upcoming election.

    Outstanding.

    I hope he picks Luthor as his running mate. Or at least lets him rule over Australia.

    I’m a Chtulu 2008 man myself. Why vote for the lesser evil?

    Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos (slogan: “I am looking forward to an orderly election tomorrow, which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath.”).

    What about the takeover by our robot overlords? I await their orderly rule.

    Pah! Physics Geek, do you actually think the Great Old One will forgive you for misspelling his sacred name? Miserable, arrogant fool! Not even the Little Old Ones will do that!

    A True Alternative for 2008

    Vote for your ruler When I first came to your planet and demanded your homes, property and very lives, I didn’t know you were already doing so, willingly, with your own government. I can win no tribute from a bankrupted…
