Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

We still have time to mess this up!

Accountability, motherfuckers.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Open Thread – You must make a friend of horror

I give you due warning – the sight of cute Russian boys in their undies is not adequate compensation for the boyband/Christmas acoustic horror that will overwhelm you if you press that play button.

I suspect Poe’s law may also apply to bad europop.

Sometimes the youtubes take me to scary places.

    I was just thinking, apropo of this thread that this is ripe for a take from Sasha Baron Cohen, but then I realized I haven’t seen the Bruno movie.

    …the barbaric language and fat heads negate whatever hotness is there. (Except one of them, who may have a Croat grandparent or something.) Plus, “Hepatitis” is a terrible name for a boy band.

    A couple of things I learned from watching this video, and response videos from the comments: 1) I need to puncture my eardrums, move to eastern Europe and become some kind of music video producer. 2) My gayness and body condition are seriously deficient.

    The birther drama in GA was hilarious.

    During closing arguments, as Taitz began referring to documents that were not in evidence, Malihi pointedly asked, “Counsel, are you testifying?”

    Taitz abruptly halted her arguments, took the witness stand and began testifying. Malihi soon cut her off.

    nucking futs all.

    Since we have an underwear thread, my sister-in-law’s wife owns a foundation’s business. They’re mostly sold at high end stores like Barney’s etc.

    So if any of you ladies want to pay outrageous prices for cute under stuff, check out Sloan and Tate

    Wrong. The cute Russian boys in their underwear is MORE THAN enough compensation for the horror of having to press the mute button. Yum.
