Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I was faster i was always behind.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

This blog will pay for itself.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I really should read my own blog.

Erickson & Trump. One on One.

By RedState on May 11, 2011

Yes, it is true. On Tuesday, I will be going one on one with Donald Trump in his office in New York.

He has agreed to sit down and have an unfiltered conversation with no topic off limits. Thus I will ask him those questions many of you have wanted to ask him and flesh out why he thinks he is a conservative, why he might run, etc.

You can watch the interview live and for free. But you must register by going here.

    I must admit, I’m at a loss as to what burning questions these half-wits at Red State have had for captain combover.

    Is he popular there? Or is he anathema, being too historically “liberal” (hasn’t advocated executing gays) for them?

    Hopefully some poor sap will stomach that and report back.

    Love the picture. Don’t think I’ll be able to watch. Also–does Eric son of Eric not know Trump is like totally last week?

    And OT–fuck David Brooks. His newest piece is the most disgusting piece of smarmy deficit crap ever written.

    @asiangrrlMN:

    Clowns are scary, unfunny and tragic. Hence, the perfect metaphor for the Republicans.

    A friend of mine once dated a clown. He had a full sized gilt sarcophagus in his bedroom and liked to wear his makeup during sex.

    I’ll blog on the Trump thing if my stomach can stand it.

    In the inevitable HBO docudrama, this scene should be played by Holt McCallany as Trump and Peter Dinklage as Erick Erickson.

    I realize it was a request, but I can hardly see the point. A waste of perfectly good energy. Unlike some of the other asshats who are actually interested in running, Teh Donald is only interested in self-promotion. And Eric gives the Pavlovian response.

    I love how the sign up sheet has a imaginary checkbox so you will automatically receive new and conservative mailings from Redstate.

    All this clownishness is a distraction for what will be going on in the main ring if they can just find the dickish tri-partate invisible ringmasters (Murdoch and Koch Bros).

    @Sarah Proud and Tall: Better now that you’ve addressed me! My adoration for you continues unabashed, despite your alarming fondness for posting pictures of clowns. If you ever need someone to break you out of the Home for the Violently Senile, I’m your grrl.

    @Parallel 5ths (Jewish Steel): Speaking of, YAY. World domination is in my grasp. Bwahahahahhaha!

    @freelancer: No. Peter Dinklage is too sexy to play Erick, the son of Erick.
