Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

This blog will pay for itself.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I was promised a recession.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Seems like NewsMax may not be getting best value from its advertising dollars, somehow…

    @aangus: Yes!

    Speaking of advertising dollars from this site, I’ve been considering getting one o’ those Bellroy wallets. (If looking at hipster-ish skinny-jeaned young men pick up wallets and walk away floats your boat, btw, check out their product videos. Some of those jeans just scream “laundry disaster” to me, or to be honest “fashion victim”, but I dunno. I do need a small wallet, & I’ve heard that paperwallet ones disgorge their contents perhaps a little too easily.)

    But my main point is:

    Thanks to John and to the commentariat: the knee update thread, if laughter is genuinely the best medicine, was better than the best shot in the arm…

    @Lyrebird: FWIW, Huckberry, which is a decent site, carries Bellroy wallets, and they’re usually on sale.

    I just watched the Norwegian film Headhunters on Netflix. It was decent. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau(Jaime Lannister) was part of the cast. But the real star, not so much for her acting, was the 6′ tall Norwegian actress Synnøve Macody Lund.

    billmon must be bored, because that ad has been lurking there forever. Apparently we are blessedly free from political sturm und drang – so yay, today!

    Sounds like the junk I get for being on the Breitbart email list. The headlines are always good for a morning laugh.

    But that ad: I’m surprised it doesn’t go to that one guy that does 1.5 hour long diatribes about BS accompanied by Powerpoints. I can’t remember his name.

    As long as Noisemax gets clicks, they’re happy, I’m sure. Whether or not the thing that’s clicked is based in any way in reality is totally beside the point.

    As a professional writer who could use some extra bucks, I read “they’re hiring” with some interest.

    It’s Koch money anyway, which is a bottomless pit, They don’t GAF whether it’s placed right or not. Any publicity is good publicity.
    BUT, I love clicking on them, gets some of the lucre going to places they don’t want it to go!

    More evidence that the RW has kind of evaporated out and all that’s left are the con-artists and the angry, paranoid people they’re feeding, and feeding on.
