Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Let’s finish the job.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans in disarray!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

No one could have predicted…

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

I almost forgot.

Weird- this didn’t publish but saved as draft. Should have gone up right after my last post. FYWP.

    I thought the Derby sponsorship was pretty interesting. They weren’t advertising any of the known brands owned by Yum (Taco Bell, KFC, A&W, etc.) or their actual products, but rather their position is a friendly neighborhood global megacorp, along with their NYSE code. Brought up all sorts of associations between global capitalism and gambling.

    Super Saver sounds more like a grocery store than a derby winner.

    Had a good time at Derby. Rained on & off most of day. Had a cover, so was dry when not betting/getting beer, etc.

    Had a $10 excata on Derby that I cashed. That got me back up to even. Thank God Ice Box got up for 2nd.

    Didn’t see Sen. McConnell (dammit).
