Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

    Watching Daily Show and the wonderful Samantha Bee is “reporting” from Beirut. Hello people, this is one of my beats and could you at least put a plausible green screen background? That wasn’t Beirut by a long shot. But, of course, nobody knows, right?

    Meanwhile, a big high five to Soonergrunt who is an outstanding BJ correspondent.

    Because it’s so important that we celebrate the sociopaths among us. Maybe Soonergrunt can praise the murder of U.S. citizens by our president once again, and when he’s blowing out candles on his birthday cake he can pretend he’s snuffing out the lives of U.S. citizens without charging them with a crime or offering ’em a trial.

    Hey! I know! Why restrict ourselves to living sociopaths, like Soonergrunt?

    Happy birthday, Ed Gein! Happy birthday, Herman Mudgett! Happy birthday, Pol Pot!
