Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Let me file that under fuck it.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

T R E 4 5 O N

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Since I have been ‘outed’ as a C*** S****** by compassionate conservative, excuse me, carniverous conservative, Dan Riehl, I might as well come all the way ‘out.’ Thus, the new Balloon Juice theme song, suggested by commenters:

Let’s all do our best to keep it gay.

    In that case, thank you for doing your part in keeping it gay *and* keeping it light!

    queer

    Indeed…

    THREADJACK! (again)

    Anyone read this?

    Bush Guts Posse Comitatus

    Yes I know it is Kos, and it seems to be hyperventalition at its worst.

    But…is it true?

    OT: This is funny…

    Before a debate with challenger Don Hilliard, Rep. John Peterson (R-PA) “asked everyone to say the Pledge of Allegiance.” Unfortunately, “there was no American flag anywhere in the hall to pledge allegiance to.” “So the moderator, spotting Peterson’s wide, American flag-themed tie, asked everyone to turn their attention to Peterson, who obliged by putting his right hand over his breast and holding his tie out for the crowd to revere.”

    Lee Says: But…is it true?

    Unfortunately, it is true. God Damn him to an eternal wasteland of 100 million hells.

    John:
    Are you telling me I have wasted a year and a half lusting after you in my dreams? ;-)

    John, nobody cares if you are gay or not.

    But you have to step up and admit you are a closeted progressive, rather than trying to hide your true nature with your incessant Sheehan bashing, etc….

    Monica Bellucci is all kinds of serious hot.

    How did Mr. Cole serve in the military…in those hot, sweaty, enclosed tanks with other hot, sweaty, beefy men…if he was gay? It is a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, or more like a “please touch, don’t tell” policy?

    Wonkette, which nailed Foley DAYS before anyone else, says another R is doomed

    It’s usually the Nat’n Equire of blog stories, but sometimes they get it right…just throwing it out there…

    There’s always this in terms of catchy songs on the subject. Why yes I’m a Peter Jackson fan.

    Monica Bellucci is all kinds of serious hot.

    So is Salma Hayek.

    And Sine:

    John:
    Are you telling me I have wasted a year and a half lusting after you in my dreams?

    He’s not confirming anything one way or another, so as to not alienate his many lustful fans, be they male or female. It’s very Ricky Martin of him…

    That vid clip led me to these from the same night (William Shatner Roast on Comedy Central):

    Laughed my ever’lovin’ ass off.

    Big Picture, John….don’t sweat it…you are in good company! I mean, come on…Sulu!! Who could ask for more? Er…well, yeah. Don’t bother answering that.

    Crowd: “We’re here! We’re queer! We don’t want any more bears”

    Lenny: Hey, that’s a pretty catchy chant. Where did you hear it?

    Homer: Oh, I heard it at the moustache parade they have every year.

    Well, John is the blogosphere’s equivalent of the gay man around whom women like to hang at the pick-up bar because he’s considered non-threatening.
