Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

I really should read my own blog.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

I was promised a recession.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

In after Baud. Damn.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

    Heheheh – for a minute there, I thought Tesla (the car company) was now in the business of making battery powered guns.

    Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable! Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad

    and I thought Baldwin was particularly good tonight

    @Jim, Foolish Literalist: They’re really amping up the meanness now. I’m not complaining…good to see the gloves coming off (I LOLed on the Kellyanne Conway dead-soul-and-hair line)

    @efgoldman: Yeah, electric motors are much better at acceleration than internal combustion. They get full power all through the RPM range, not just at the high end.

    Adam, that video you posted is nothing compared to this vid. A guy made a portable Tesla gun that shoots three foot lightning bolts you can actually touch. Then they recorded it at 28,000 FPS.

    I got to take a trip in my friend’s Tesla last year. Sweet ride, and we even had a super-charger or two on the trip.

    Electricity is in my veins, yo. My dad was an electrician, and I sure shocked him! Also, our son built his own Tesla coil for an art project in college. Plasma is purty.
