Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

He really is that stupid.

“woke” is the new caravan.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republicans in disarray!

No one could have predicted…

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

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Canadians fare poorly on their own citizenship test. When is the last time that someone tested Americans?

    Then we’d know that Americans were stupider than canadians.

    Can’t have that happen.

    At least now we know why those crazy Alabama rednecks start bleating over immigration. There’s just no way that state could survive a massive influx of smart people. It would completely upset their traditional way of life.

    Mexicans would be doing the jobs that Americans just don’t want to do. Like learning basic math and reading skills. And being able to recite more than the first two Constitutional Amendments.

    actually they did that not to long ago. The results weren’t encouraging.

    I say that anyone who advocates for building that idiotic boarder fence, arresting all illegals or any other stupid, unrealistic immigration “reforms” should have to pass the citizenship test.

    That is rather depressing. I know we often get snippy when Americans think that our capital is Toronto. But then to find out that other Canadians think that as well…ugh.

    BTW: did a practice citizenship test; scored 18/20. (Screwed up on the reason European settlers first came here, and also screwed up the names of the three main groups of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada.)

    in 2000 i was biking in northern italy and met a great canadian couple. they were astonished that i knew the name of the prime minister. plainly they had very low expectations of US citizens.

    I thought the capital of Canada was Newfoundland?

    I took the US Citizenship questions portion of the test online about a year and a half ago. Out of 100 questions I got 99 correct.

    The capital of Canada *is* Toronto. Don’t believe those liars in Ottawa.
