Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Let there be snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

So very ready.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

If my photoshop skills were a bit better developed I would copy Cole’s latest selfie, go back through the blog and find every single photo of his mangled, sprained, broken and clawed appendages and then paste them all together in a giant, glorious ginger Frankenstein’s Monster collage of domestic disaster.

    Cole is a walking, ongoing injury.

    That’s why we’re here, I think.

    A delightful tune from Japan.

    Not music, but the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk movie is out. I think Nolan is the best writer/director in the business since Anthony Minghella died, and I’m very curious about this. Given his oeuvre to date, this was not at all what I expected his next subject to be. I think there’s more people in the boat at the end of that trailer than he’s ever had in a whole movie before.

    Then again, that trailer doesn’t suggest your average war movie. I really doubt that there was that much silence during the evacuation.

    @ruemara:

    In a similar vein, the other day I heard an ancient pop song that plausibly worked nonchalant into it: Jackie DeShannon in full lip-sync mode, “When You Walk in the Room.” (Relevant line at 0:45.)

    I think the very existence of Wheeler Walker Junior proves that, indeed, all men ARE pigs. (NSFW, but hilarious)

    @Yutsano: I started the video and thought, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’ Then I saw the numbers of views. Um… popular!
