Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Everybody saw this coming.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This fight is for everything.

Not all heroes wear capes.

    I was searching for that video a couple of days ago (annual tradition, dontchaknow), and after typing ‘Sarah Palin turkey’ into the search bar, Google helpfully offered some suggestions to refine the search: ‘massacre’, ‘fiasco’, and ‘slaughter’.

    The other thing is that if you’re masochistic and actually listen to the whole damn interview, she babbles on about how important it is to her to go back and fight for Alaskans as their governor and so on and so forth. Six months later, of course, she resigned.

    They blot out the dead turkey but not the live turkey. Why is that?

    Watch that guy in the background. At first he just stands there awkwardly, aware that he’s in the shot and torn between wasting work time and ruining the Governor’s interview. Then he says to himself, “Ah, fuck it, I got work to do,” and resumes killing turkeys. A more conscientious worker than the almost-Vice president in the foreground.

    Sometimes I’m ashamed of wasting neurons on her, but Palin is in my top 5 of the most loathsome public figures. Her and Rinse Pubics are so full of it I get hives just listening to them bs their way through interviews.
