Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

No one could have predicted…

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Consistently wrong since 2002

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Let’s finish the job.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

“woke” is the new caravan.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

    Found what looks like a decent movie on NF instant to watch tonight. Called John Rabe. Republicans are even more insane than yesterday, and will likely inch a little toward less than zero tomorrow.

    Just about to go start Castle. DVR buffer should be full enough to get me through while skipping the commercials.

    I am more and more ambivalent about Chuck. I was not an early adopter, so maybe my faith is not strong enough?

    I read somewhere Detroit 1-8-7 is being cancelled. I love the show and I hate how often I get hooked on shows that only play one season. Sigh.

    It occurred to me today that it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from the Snowbilly Queen. Has it finally dawned on people that she isn’t a credible candidate?

    @Mark S.:

    I read somewhere she is giving a keynote speech at a conference in India this month and then going to Israel and the UK to beef up her IR credentials. I’m sure we will hear all about it. Not looking forward to it.

    GOS gloats over Palin’s modest decline among likely R voters in Iowa. Why? Are they cheering for some serious Republican daddy as an alternative?

    @Parallel 5ths (Jewish Steel):

    Yeah if Jon Hunstman starts doing well I would worry. It is hard to imagine the conditions under which that would happen, but you never know.

    I hope the final three are Pawlenty, Palin, and Trump.

    I still think Volkov’s daughter is Chuck’s sister. the last secret his mother never told him.

    @rikyrah:

    She would need to be significantly younger than Chuck, then, because didn’t Mom leave the family when Chuck was 12?

    Not saying you’re wrong. Volkov’s daughter just doesn’t seem much younger than Chuck and Sarah.

    “Castle” is a weak shadow of “The Mentalist.”

    Wait, I thought “The Mentalist” was just a serious version of “Psych.”

    @Parallel 5ths (Jewish Steel): maybe because the GOS figures that if Sistah Sarah is the candidate, there’s no worries about the Republican base showing up to the polls, anyone else is “less pure” and therefore not as attractive.

    Holy freaking sh*t!
    Guess who said this?

    The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives — urged on by conservatives opposed to abortion — has voted to defund Planned Parenthood. On this issue, Republicans and conservatives are dead wrong. …

    If not for Margaret Sanger’s vision and bravery, many poor Americans would have no place to turn for birth-control measures and counseling or for other health-care services.

    To take that away makes no sense.

    There will be no new Detroit 1-8-7 on Tuesday night, because ABC has pre-empted it for their one-hour Charlie Sheen interview.

    Sorry Anne.

    You keep posting these. I keep reading them. I never laugh. I mean, never.

    Are they supposed to be funny?

    Or are they some subtle, post-modern discussion of life that must be accompanied by graphics because TV has addled our brains?
