Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

I really should read my own blog.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

“Alexa, change the president.”

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Consistently wrong since 2002

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Which is more likely: a fetus beating off in the womb, or John Boehner bringing meaningful immigration reform to the floor of the House? My money is on Rosy Palm and her five sisters, in utero, but that won’t spare us the regular updates on a bunch of pointless wanking by Boehner and the rest of the House and Senate Republicans.

    If he does manage to do it, it will be with all Democrats and the very few Repubs willing to stand up to the teatards. In other words, Nancy SMASH!! would be saving his bacon. Again.

    Other than the budget, there will be no meaningful legislation passed until after Nov. 2014.

    Oh, he’ll bring it to the House. And then get so publicly torpedoed by his own party that he has to break the Hastert Suggestion and pass it with Democrats. Dems will get all the credit for the “reform”, the GOP will continue to be known as the third incarnation of the Klan, and yet another GOP attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of voters will be trashed by their own party.

    Boner’s problem is that he’s got a bloc of racist shitweasels who think “immigration reform” is sending anyone who speaks Spanish as a first language back to Madrid, where they all came from.

    I keep wondering why they bothered to start the process at all, unless they really thought they were going to pass something. It’s one thing to never bring an issue up and let it linger (think climate change). It’s a whole other dynamic to start debate, bring up a bill and then kill it publicly, with your fingerprints on the murder weapon.

    Do they think Hispanics and Asians aren’t going to notice that they are sucking up to the white nativist GOP base?

    Meaningful immigration reform is too high a bar. So is any form of immigration reform. We might see a bill that would allow these goiters to employ non-citizen servants for pennies an hour without legal repercussions and guarantee corporations can do the same.

    You may assume the bill will be worded in such a way as to cause everyone of Hispanic descent and 99% of non-Hispanics to spit acid.

    @bill d: Does the position come with a really big drinks cabinet?

    @Higgs Boson’s Mate: I used to work with a teabagger who I swear corrected herself in the middle of saying the word Mexican to say “wetback”. She realized that she was using an acceptable term but had to just get in an ethnic slur. For what reason I don’t know, none of the rest of us were teabaggers and/or likely to be amused. This is what the Republicans who think they’re going to get Latinos to vote for them are up against.

    Hey, hey HEY!!!

    What is all this about men (babies in the womb) beating off like there is no tomorrow? In this age of empowerment, women deserve equal opportunity to wank in the womb. OK…. maybe fap is a better term.

    Equal rights for women (fetuses).

    Republican doctors are really good at inferring things. Bill Frist inferred that Terri Schiavo’s head lolling and eye blinking as brain activity and this guy thinks that arm movement in a fetus is fapping.

    @El Cid: There’s no such thing as fetal wanking; if it’s a legitimate wank, the woman’s body has a way of shutting that down.

    In-utero wanking is kinda like incest. Now if lil’ Peter gets Mumsie in a family way can she then get an abortion or is it just Devine Will and there’s nuthin’ nobody can do about it?
    Hey maybe this is really where twins come from. Can we get ultra sound evidence of in-utero hanky panky? ‘Hot Fetuses Gone Wild’
