Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

T R E 4 5 O N

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

This fight is for everything.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Speaking for Scarlett Johansson only

It’s past time that someone sponsored a remake of Belle Noiseuse. I’ll have my agent call Scorsese.

    Finally, a non-Hill hate thread:

    the glorious offensive in Basra has resulted in medals and promotions for everybody (not!)

    BAGHDAD — The Iraqi government announced Sunday that it had dismissed 1,300 soldiers and policemen for refusing to fight or performing badly during last month’s offensive against Shiite militias in the southern city of Basra.

    Maj. Gen. Abdul-Kareem Khalaf, an Interior Ministry spokesman, said that 500 soldiers and 421 policemen were fired in Basra, including 37 senior police officers up to the rank of Brigadier General. Police officials said the remainder were fired in Kut, where fighting also spread.

    “Some of them were sympathetic with these lawbreakers, some refused to battle for political or national or sectarian or religious reasons,” General Khalaf said in Basra.

    On April 3, Mr. Maliki promised to dismiss and prosecute the worst offenders among the more than 1,000 who deserted, laid down their weapons or refused to fight against their fellow Shiites and tribesmen. At the time one of his senior officials acknowledged that fear of the militias was a principal factor. “One of the main reasons is that they felt the other party was too strong, and too courageous and they couldn’t confront them,” he said.

    Can you say “Brusilov Offensive” ?

    Putting further political pressure on Mr. Sadr, Ali al-Dabbagh, an Iraqi government spokesman, said Sunday that the cabinet had agreed on a draft law that would ban any party from taking part in the October provincial elections unless they disband their militias. But it was unclear how much effect any law could have, given that the two dominant Shiite parties in government — the Sadrists and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq — are both closely affiliated with their armed wings.

    This is going to end well.

    The President of the United States just admitted being fully aware of officials at the highest levels designing “enhanced interrogation techniques” and it’s been greeted in the media by a big yawn. I have to admit, I’m speechless myself I don’t know where to go from here. We’ve finally gotten to the point where the President can come out and say something like that, what’re you going to do about it?

    Of course seeing as two lines of a talk Obama gave last Friday could be interpreted as being disrespectful towards people who value religion and being able to use guns, there hasn’t been a lot of attention to spare for minor matters.

    So, how does the general public force the DOJ to put Bush up on high crimes and misdemeanors??

    Not in our name, right? He broke the law. He broke international law. If he is saying, “So what?” now is the time for a major civics lesson.

    Do I get bonus points for having seen both La Belle Noiseuse and Divertimento in the theater?

    A question I pose to guys I know – would you sit through a four hour French film, if you knew it had over two hours of Emmanuelle Beart naked?

    But… have you seen Premiers désirs?

    2:30 before the movie crawled so far up its own what-is-art-without-feeling navel that I turned it off for fear of spawning a black hole.

    Thanks to the internet, nekkid chicks are easy to find without sitting through 4 hours of French film, so I would have to say no, naked actresses are not enough. Is it any good otherwise?
