Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

“Alexa, change the president.”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

White supremacy is terrorism.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

This fight is for everything.

Brian Linse, aka AintNoBadDude, has a new movie coming out in a few weeks named Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, and it looks incredible. The film has some giant names in it- Albert Finney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, and you can screen the trailer here.

Go check it out.

    Two words that will keep me out of the theater: “Ethan” and “Hawke.”

    I will watch pretty much anything with Albert Finney or Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

    I thought Hawke was alright in Lord of War. He isn’t great, but he is a servicable actor.

    I’m impressed. Did no one notice it was directed by Sidney Lumet, the director of Network, The Pawnbroker, Dog Day Afternoon, Prince of the City, Serpico, Fail Safe and Twelve Angry Men?

    I saw this movie at the Toronto International Film Festival. Lumet was there and introduced a couple of the actors.

    It wasn’t as good as I’d hoped Lumet’s next movie would be, but it was an entertaining way to spend a coupla hours.

    The narrative style was also a bit interesting – kinda like Memento, but I don’t think as many people will be as confused by it.
