Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Celebrate the fucking wins.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

It’s been a hell of a day. In keeping with the rhyming couplet of cattery theme this evening, Odoroki & Hime would like to point out that, really, the downticket races are the biggest thing, so please focus on those. Have a good night. I’m gonna go knock myself out since I have to be at work before 8 am. Open thread for you night jackals.

    @NotMax: It only showed up properly after I went into WordPress and hit Publish. It was in some kind of limbo-land.

    The youtube video didn’t work as it should have, either, all better now.  Third time’s the charm.

    “Last Chance on the Stairway” is one of my favorite rarely heard Duran Duran songs. :D

    Cats know way more about us than they let on.

    At this distance, Simon The Good Le Bon doesn’t look or sound like he’s aged a day since the 1980s. I resent that: I’m about his age, and I have aged many many days since then.

    I just saw this YouTube video of a 10-year-old girl acing Jeff Porcaro’s legendarily difficult drum part from Rosanna. (I understand it is often set as an exam piece by music colleges.)
