Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Republicans in disarray!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

    “Very bad neighborhood.” – The Kingdom

    “Yeah? No Shit.” – Chris Cooper’s response.

    I quite liked this film, actually. The Arab-Israeli actor who plays the Saudi Colonel is phenomenally good.

    I saw The Kingdom…very good stuff. Nice mix of action and intrigue.

    According to friends of mine who are still Republican – they bought some propaganda that this is an anti-American flick. Sorry, I didn’t get that vibe at all.

    If a private intelligence group gives the administration the heads up on a new al Qaeda video under the condition it isn’t released early so they don’t jeopardize their sources, does the administration:

    a) respect the request hoping to get more intelligence in the future
    b) release the video as soon as possible ’cause ZOMG IT’S THE TERRIERS!!!, thereby scuttling anymore intel coming from that source

    You get three guesses. The first two don’t count:

    The founder of the company, the SITE Intelligence Group, says this premature disclosure tipped al-Qaeda to a security breach and destroyed a years-long surveillance operation that the company has used to intercept and pass along secret messages, videos and advance warnings of suicide bombings from the terrorist group’s communications network.

    Well, it doesn’t really matter, because the Administration can just make up shit that’s almost the same as the real intelligence. After all, the American people won’t know the difference, so who’s the wiser?

    OH…those pesky Al-Qaeda guys…right.

    OK. Here’s the new game plan in Iraq.

    1. Allow private security guards to piss everyone off.

    2. Stand back while angry mobs tear PSGs to shreds.

    3. Retroactively declare private security guards terrorist organizations.

    4. ???

    5. Profit!
