Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let there be snark.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

T R E 4 5 O N

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

    All week I’ve been watching YouTubes left and right at work, and they pick TODAY to turn the Net Nanny back on.

    Damn, I hope this video doesn’t get pulled before I get home, it sounds hilarious from the commenters on Wonkette.

    Excellent video. I’m often delighted by the creativity and cleverness of some the work on YouTube. There’s definitely a lot of dreck there too but there are some real pearls too. It’s refreshing to see so many people “playin’ real good for free.”

    I’d probably have made Limbaugh or Rove the emperor, but that’s just me.

    Hillary just used a “with us or against us” line regarding the oil companies.

    As Obi-Wan said: “Only a Sith deals in absolutes.”

    Indeed.

    That is flipping awesome! Who was “portraying” Han Solo there at the end?

    I’d probably have made Limbaugh or Rove the emperor, but that’s just me.

    They should be the guy who started the clone army and ginned up a war (AKA the vast right wing conspiracy) only to be merged with the emperor in the end.

    There’s no such thing as too much time on your hands!

    I woke up today with that very phrase that opens this youtube in my head, “these are the times that try men’s souls” – thinking about this Jeremiah Wright horror – so that was very weird to see this just now.
