Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

People are weird.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Be a wild strawberry.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

    Ridiculous that Klay Thompson only has one foul.

    Also, thread goes up in the third quarter – much improvement!

    Richard Jefferson went to college with me. He cheated off my roommate all the time.

    Crowd in Oakland is cracking me up booing Bron on every touch. He’s playing well, but it underscores how much he doesn’t play like this and has the Finals record he does.

    Dubs missing Green. Splash Co may need both of their guys to show out.

    Cavaliers, but really just because the Lebron hate has become tiresome. Also because I want to see a game seven.

    @efgoldman:

    ETA: They just said he’s having an MRI and is “done for the night.” Without having seen how he got hurt, I’m guessing he’s done for more than that.

    He’s a big man and his knee went 3 to 4 inches back further than his thigh. He’s done for the season, not just the night.

    Silver lining: not much time left in the season.

    LeBron and Kyrie both ran out of gas in Game 4 4th quarter. GS really misses Dremond Greene

    “Look here, Rumpole; I would advise you to take this matter seriously.”

    “And I would advise you, Ballard, if you can find a taxidermist willing to undertake the work, to get stuffed.”

    Man, Leo McKern could deliver a line.
