Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

No Justins, No Peace

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

    That post was pretty thin on anything worth linking to. Well-written, maybe, but somewhat content-free, and even insight-free.

    Sometimes bombing people is a bad idea. For the times when it’s not, drones are the best way to get it done.

    And right on cue, a B&H ad for remote flying camera platforms atop comments.

    Yay, the future today.

    @trollhattan: I looked at a cheap one in Fry’s. The box touted its quick charge time. Ten minutes of flight on a three hour charge. I was considering covering race nights with one, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ten minute sailboat race, and we do three or four.

    How ironic would it be for Obama to live out his retirement in fear of the ever increasing threat of a drone delivering retribution to him and his entourage.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: leave it to a “pacifist” emoprog/firebagger to fantasize of Obama’s murder.

    thankfully Obama derangement syndrome is covered under ACA

    you’re sick and need help. Hopefully you’ll seek it before the Secret Service catches up with you.

    @David Koch:

    No fantasy, no threat, just an observation that a slavering, blood-thirsty coward might live to regret his casual homicides as technology brings his own weapon of choice into the hands of people as demented as he is.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: Jesus–just call him the N-word and be done with it.

    And I think you’re referring to George W. Bush, but what do I know…

    There’s nothing to justify this comment. It’s pitiful, actually.
