Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

We’re not going back!

Please don’t feed the bears.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I was promised a recession.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

T R E 4 5 O N

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

The lights are all blinking red.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Just some images from the day:

An educated girl can lift up her family, her community, and her country. That’s why I’m so proud that today the @ObamaFoundation is launching the Global @GirlsAlliance in support of adolescent girls' education around the world.

Today is #InternationalDayOfTheGirl, and 2018’s theme is “With Her: A Skilled Girl Force.” To celebrate, @MichelleObama launched the #GlobalGirlsAlliance, highlighting roadblocks that prevent 98 million girls from attending school globally.

    Ah, there’s a short tail on that Y. However much I enjoy being Bohmian, I was unclear why being Slav was as important as Wonder, Resist, Rebel, Protect, etc. (let alone being a noun among verbs).

    @Jerzy Russian: I was thinking Pippi Longstocking. But Anne of Green Gables fits too.

    @FlyingToaster: I thought Dora the Explorer somehow grew up! (but at least I beat 50% of references and I’m usually rubbish at them).

    Take One: “Education s important! A real woman is anything she wants to be!”

    Take Two: “Here are nine thin, attractive models for you to choose from.”

    Take Two: “Here are nine thin, attractive models for you to choose from.”

    That bears repeating. Thanks for pointing it out.
