Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Second rate reporter says what?

This blog will pay for itself.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

    I orderd 2. One for me and once for the ex wife. Good times. We both have our pets on there so I thought she would appreciate having Trixie (yes I know, it is a strippers name) in the calendar.

    I ordered mine the day after they first came out. Shipped a while ago, FedEx says they’re in Indy, IN and due 1/8/19…wtf ??

    They could walk it here by then!!

    I know they will be really cute, so willing to wait. Also ordered Albratrossity’s bird calendar for a neighbor ornithologist, she will love it. Fed Ex delivered it to a different neighbor’s house, left it on a patio table in the rain. J noticed it before the interior was sodden, so it survived.

    Obviously I’m bitchin about FedEx, not the calendars!! Non union, should be using UPS or the USPS, not sub contractor scabs.

    Lindsay Graham was on CNN and was asked about Trump pulling troops out of Syria. He dismissed the question as a bunch of bullshit and had this exchange with Dana Bash:

    “Everything we’re dealing with today falls on Obama’s watch. He’s the one who withdrew from Iraq,” Graham said.
    Bash countered, “But he did it because there was a Status of Forces Agreement in Iraq, right?”
    “Listen. No, that’s a bunch of bulls***. Pardon my French. That’s a complete lie. That’s a complete, absolute lie.”
    Bash’s eyes widened in surprise: “That didn’t happen?”

    I guess he’s learning from Trump – just outright lie. Is Graham part of the Russian thing? He’s a 100% toady for Trump, and it can’t be because of his personal life. I don’t see that anybody would care, but he’s about as closeted as Charles Nelson Reilly or Paul Lynde were back in the 70’s.

    I’m thinking he never had any real integrity, just had to keep up appearances when he was McCain’s best buddy.

    @Amir Khalid: No, Miss Lindsay’s a Sunday-Program-Staple for the old media. Which seems to be primarily used to scare the bejesus out of old white folks, regardless of network.

    Various olds (and I’m in my late 50s, so older-n-me) keep asking me if I’ve seen something on television, and I’m like, “Was it Doctor Who, on Comet or Science, or old BBC mysteries on WGBX*? Then nope!”

    I have long since given up on regular tv, for me political/news stuff is twitter and netflix/amazon prime for movies/shows. I simply cannot take regular television anymore. Life is so good right now. Too bad, I’m getting spied on by Alexa.

    @geg6: Facebook, mostly. A lot of my high school friends turned out to be more hard core anti-Trumpers/liberals than I had imagined. Electing Trump kind of had that effect.

    I only found out she liked BALLOON JUICE (She may like the other BJ. I haven’t asked.) recently when I recommended it to her. She loves Betty Cracker and is intimidated by the healthcare posts of David Anderson and the intelligence posts of Adam Silverman.

    @SenyorDave:
    That Status of Forces Agreement is absolutely verifiable by literally anyone. I’m not sure how desperate Graham is to keep whatever somebody has on him from coming out, but blatantly lying about this is like saying there’s no such thing as gravity. He should just resign.

Lil Bit being awesome and Bhodi sitting there next to his brother thinking “Oh Hi Dad. Take my pic. Look how good I am. I promise I will be he best dog ever!!!”

    I once had a bunch of people on reddit convinced I was Adam Savage from Mythbuster by simply denying I was him when asked. Though, to be honest I denied it in a humorous way. It went on for a couple of days and they were so convinced my repeated denials just made them more sure

    My calendar is on it’s way, supposedly. Set to arrive on the 14th. I believe that I must scare delivery companies. My last Amazon order I canceled last night as it also seems to be lost, as was the first attempt. No one knows nothing.
