Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

We’re not going back!

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickel?”

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Peak wingnut was a lie.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

    Remember the line of thinking that went “it’s bad to let criminals join the military because they might learn things to use when they get out?

    This was a top story on the local news last night

    Since 2003 there have been 125,000 recruits taken into the military with criminal backgrounds. The FBI is calling it a threat to city police and national security…think about that.

    Some ends are very much in sight, unhappily. According to this there have been 116 suicides in Iraq. That compared to a total of 382 for the entire Vietnam war, when there were far more soldiers in country at any given time, experiencing more combat with less resources (psychological help). What gives?

    snark….it’s all propoganda put out there by the defeatists in the MSM. /snark

    In seriousness, this has been going on for ages, the Mexican Mafia sent people into the military to get trained and I’m sure they weren’t the only ones.
