Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

After roe, women are no longer free.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

No one could have predicted…

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

That is a picture of Bo Obama at the tender age of six weeks, which I found in this USA Today story about the trainer who is working with Bo.

    Sweet- but he is no Tunch. btw, Don’t think I will survive all the networks “celebrations” of the first 100 days. The anchors on CNN are pretty much hyperventilating. Hopefully one of them passes out on live TV.

    Whoops, wrong thread. That’s a cute puppy, and I’m not a dog person at all.

    Are we sure he’s qualified to be the First Dog? Have we seen a notarized copy of his birth certificate yet?

    I was pleasantly surprised at how well teh puppy was built and moved on his legs. A very nice youngster, especially his front.
    Though that six-week old picture kinda made my eyes hurt.

    Color me a heretic, but I’m not too hot on Bo, either as he is now or the puppy size.
