Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The lights are all blinking red.

So many bastards, so little time.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Books are my comfort food!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Apparently the folks at the Daily Show made a chrome extension called “Make Trump tweets Eight Again” that add a special touch to all of his tweets:

Heh.

    I have it on one of my computers. I have an extension that replaces pictures of trump with kittens on this one.

    I’m suddenly reminded of Camp Granada by Allan Sherman with the font being used. I’m going take a look at the lyrics and see how I can turn it into a Trump parody.

    @Doug R: that extension is the best.

    I’m glad that novelty chrome extensions are a thing now.

    OT:

    Bummer, man. Thought yesterday and the day before it was the sinuses enjoying one of their periodic forays into red alert. Am now certain coming down with something – first time in maybe 20 years.

    No fever to speak of. Throat raw, raw, raw. Chest and head more congested than the Holland Tunnel on Walk Your Pet Snail To New Jersey Day. Sleep possible only in snatches, a half hour here, an hour there before coughing/choking commences again.

    This too shall pass. Fortunately, keep a more than ample supply of tissues in the abode.

    Didn’t somebody say that most of Trump’s tweets are actually written by some guy named Scavino, I believe? Used to work at Trump Tower as a janitor or whatever? Trump only hires the best (or the cheapest, as it turns out).

    Gawd yes. Couldn’t stand him and never understood why anyone did. Now Colbert? That’s a whole other story.

    If it’s like the sickness that was going around my office about a month ago, you’re in for it. Nasty bug, whatever it is. So far, I’ve dodged that bullet. But, working in higher ed, I won’t dodge it forever.

    Why in the world didn’t Comedy Central replace Stewart with some pre-recorded policy speeches from Hillary Clinton?

    Ratings bonanza!

    @geg6: Colbert was genius.

    ETA Stewart was a breath of fresh air when he first came on, but it had more to do with timing and political inclination than any earth-shattering talent.

    @Major Major Major Major:

    I tried to watch Stewart, but I just couldn’t stand his shtick. And his both siderism was just infuriating and, IMHO, the precursor to the idiocy that became Wilmerism. That horrifically stupid rally for whatever that he threw in the midst of the Tea Party furor was so self-congratulatory and gross, I just wanted to throttle him. Turned me off him completely. I can look at and listen to him about as long as I can Wilmer and Dolt45. Which is about 3 seconds before it’s CLICK with the remote.

    I liked both Colbert and Stewart. Like Colbert more now that he is being more direct. Love Trevor Noah.

    Good time for sharp satire.

    Stewart is a good comedian and host, but his true genius was finding other really talented people and giving them a platform: Colbert, Carrell, Oliver, Lewis Black, Wyatt Cenac, Samantha Bee, Ed Helms, Rob Cordry, Demetri Martin, Aasif Mandvi, Larry Wilmore, etc.

    Back with an incomplete song but I got other stuff to do:

    Hello Ivanka, Hello Melania
    Here I am at Camp
    with Duterte and winning bigot
    He says we can shoot protesters very shortly

    I went golfing with Shinzo Abe
    We talked about that one bad hombre
    in North Korea and shooting missles
    Why can’t samurai cut them down with their muscles?

    All the leaders lives me so,
    unlike Obama, I’m in the know
    To get the best deals at trade summits,
    blame the US and give China lots of credit

    Now I don’t want fancy burgers,
    just a fried pie and quarter pounders.
    These state dinners have too much drama
    at least I got a steak when I ate in China

    Trump’s tweets, when he’s gone soft cone, are very Dear Diary.
