Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This fight is for everything.

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

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Giving up is unforgivable.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

“Alexa, change the president.”

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

So very ready.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Lazy blogger question – when was the last time a GOP presidential candidate gave a policy address on Iraq? If you narrow the list to likely nominees, has it even happened?

Chat about whatever.

    Anyone outraged by this rightwing wingnut laughing at death of ethnic minority after he was assaulted.
    MOMENT OF CLARITY CONTINUES

    Read the whole thing, again. Among the civilised who toughened up was Glasgow’s John Smeaton, now celebrated in New York:

    A baggage handler hailed as a hero after helping police subdue an attacker at Scotland’s Glasgow Airport is being honored in New York for his actions …

    “Our members are thrilled at the opportunity of meeting a modern Scottish hero,” American-Scottish Foundation president Alan Bain said, according to Britain’s Press Association.

    “Our organization has always highlighted the best qualities of Scots and Scots Americans, and John Smeaton captured the hearts of the world with his show of bravery.”

    The lunatic jihadi Smeaton tackled subsequently died of self-inflicted burns. As Lance wrote: “Let the uncivilized take their chances.”

    Her captors, all of them white, choked her with a cable cord, poured hot water over her and stabbed her in the leg while calling her a racial slur, according to criminal complaints.
    […]
    At one point, an assailant cut the woman’s ankle with a knife, telling her she was victimized because she is black, authorities said.

    The motive for such brutality still wasn’t clear.

    The hell you say.

    Nothing on Boehner and his “small price to pay” remarks?

    And TPM.TV has a devastating video featuring Tony Snow contradicting the same generals that his boss said we should all be listening to and believing over at the Talking Points Memo site. Just look for the video with the title “the facts on the ground” on it. I’m sure Snow will be so happy to get back to his old gig on Fox News where he can spin away without having a gaggle of reporters hammering away on him every day…
