Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

“But what about the lurkers?”

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Bark louder, little dog.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

In after Baud. Damn.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

    Swear to Jehova’s Mecca I left Great Orange Satan on a night of red wine north of Sydney saying, “Please, Ballon Juice, bring me back to sanity. I fucking beg you.”

    It didn’t work, of course, but it was nice to see Oz mentioned.

    P.S. It’s 9:42 pm in Sydney. More wine needed. Signing off.

    PPSSohwhatever: That boxer needs its friggin nails cut! Daleks always count on that.

    PeePeeSS: Now I’m watching an Aussie TV commercial where a guy coughs and coughs – and then coughs up blood into his hanky at a party. Because for smokers, “Every cigarette brings cancer closer.”

    Thank you. In Australia I now pay $17 a pack for this. Thank you.

    Love it! The boxer keeps going into the doggy “play bow” but he doesn’t realize… Daleks don’t play.
    And here in SoCal the time is “almost time to go home from work” aka 4:30ish AM. Yay!

    @LT: I thought the same thing about the nails. The boxer was at a disadvantage on a wood floor. Fortunately most battles with Daleks on Earth will occur outside. Advantage: Dogs.

    You shouldn’t pay the tobacco tax. Every pack of cigarettes you buy helps support businesses that funnel money to the right-wing politicians and noise machine. You should quit for yourself and the ones who love you.

    every boxer knows: never trust anything whose butt has no smell.

    That poor Dalek has asthma.

    Also: boxers are cool!

    I have one of those Dalek things (the small one, not the full sized model) & my cats run & hide when I try to chase them with it.

    Recently discovered that one of the appendages (weapons?) had been chewed off by some culprit.

    Cute video.

    Sigh. Any day that starts with a Doctor Who reference shows promise.

    I’ll see your dog playing with a Dalek and raise you kids riding in inflatable ones You know, I’m pretty small- if I squish up really tight, maybe I would fit in one of these.

    @Carnacki:

    Fortunately most battles with Daleks on Earth will occur outside.

    That’s because Daleks can’t climb stairs. Fundamental design flaw.

    Hilarious. My dog would turn tail and head for the next county. Cluck cluck.

    Somebody tell Betty Cracker a boxer out there needs some boxer buddies to help fight the Daleks. She has a passel.
