Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

He really is that stupid.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Fight them, without becoming them!

This blog will pay for itself.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Rush Limbaugh, Rap Genius.

And with this, Rush Limbaugh proves you too can rustle papers and say everything wrong and continue to make millions. Lesson learned.

Also, today is the first ever International Happiness Day, but should the state be responsible for providing happiness? On today’s #TWiBRadio, we discuss the politics of happiness, more Iraq War statistics, and we’re joined by Mrs. Emily Epstein-White for her take on sugar daddies and indecent proposals.

And this morning on #amTWiB, #TheMorningCrew discussed the power of the NRA lobby and their massive misinformation campaign, the world inside the Aryan Brotherhood, and the million hours spent arresting marijuana users.

    When I first saw this, I thought it said, “Rush Limbaugh, RIP, Genius”. Well, one can hope…

    Rush Limbaugh, the man who has failed at everything he ever attempted in life, except for running his bigoted mouth. Sadly, running your mouth pays inordinately well in some corners of the world.

    It can’t possibly be International Happiness Day as long as that bloated gasbag with an anal cyst still roams this earth

    Not a good pic of Limpballs since he’s easily twice the size as shown in that old photo.

    Bachmann, and now Rush. I don’t know what it is, but I just can’t find the energy to care about what stupid things these people say anymore.

    Besides all this Rushbo sh*t, can we ever get beyond Beyonce?

    there is a reason I don’t listen to Rushbo on the radio, in tv segments and the like. Don’t like the sound of his voice.

    So I’m assuming he says something derogatory about Bey?

    What in the hell is the punch line in all of that Rushbo blabbering? I don’t understand.

    @Mike in NC: What does the cigar-chomping pig weigh these days? FSM, I’d think even the wingnuts would get a little tired of images of Rush chompin’ on a stoagie with a look of smug self-satisfaction on his fat face.

    As an oldish white guy I don’t know who Beyonce, I don’t care who Beyonce is, and I don’t have to pretend to care about Beyonce.

    Rush Limbaugh can FO and DIAF.

    Beyonce was already famous and had money prior to her marriage to Jay Z.

    According to celebritynetworth.com (so judge the credibility yourself) Jay-Z is worth about $475M and Beyonce about $300M. No idea where he got those numbers.

    But she did the halftime show at the Superbowl, so you are required by loyalty to your marketing demographic to Have An Opinion about her!

    Won’t somebody think of the children commercials!…

    Or possibly American Folk Songs.

    Wow, a basic “Let’s kick Rush in the ass” thread generates only 25 comments. Is that a sign of his waning influence and relevance? I hope so!

    @Schlemizel: I thought Rush was an anal cyst with a bloated gasbag attached. Not that I want to investigate the matter.

    Couldn’t someone with a spine demand of this cyst if he’s the brains of the GOP, or just an entertainer, as he claims when he’s stepped in it. If he’s the brains, FSM help us all; if an entertainer, he should made to dress as a jester for the rest of his “career”.

    Rush, as always, has gold-plated nerve to criticize. Isn’t he on his fourth wife?

    And we all know why they married him…
