Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a doggy dog world.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Everybody saw this coming.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Let there be snark.

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

Let’s finish the job.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

This blog will pay for itself.

Apparently not in Manalapan, NJ. Bonus: especially not if you dare criticize town officials on your blog.

    Nor, it appears, do people suspected of being bloggers:

    The township subpoenaed Google for “daTruthSquad’s” identity — as well as for any emails, blog drafts, and other information Google has about the blogger — claiming that the defendant in the case is actually writing the posts. The defendant, however, has already sworn under penalty of perjury that he is not “daTruthSquad.”

    Next up, the local SWAT team will go door to door to find out who made that joke about the mayor.

    Add the council of Manalapan to list of Americans who’d be happier in Russia.

    of course there is free speech in New Jersey.

    And politicians there consider ‘kneecapping’ a form of free speech too…

    He’s just lucky he didn’t make a joke about how fat Johnny Sack’s wife is.

    But what does it matter if he is the defendant? Is the defendant unable to make public statements or writings in a civil law case? Is there a ruling from the bench that says he cannot do something like that?

    It sounds like BS to me.
