Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

When I was faster i was always behind.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

    Love this video, but strong sense of deja vu.

    It’s from December 2019. I hope Vicente Fox has made some new ones in the interim

    ETA:  Can’t find any on a quick search, but this one was good.  Right down to the middle finger salute at the end.

    Can The Lincoln Project air that in the DC market?

    Didn’t Donald Trump run on not having foreign countries laugh at us any more?

    what I REALLY like about the convention in this format is that people who are watching can actually listen to what the candidates are saying, interpret their tone, body language, assess their sincerity for themselves; without some fucking talking head spinning whatever fucking frame they need to put a picture in.

    Is that really Vicente Fox or an actor? I can’t tell

    The fake Time cover in the background is also quality trolling.

    The thing that gets me about Fox is, he was the -conservative- when he was President of Mexico.  He ran Coca-Cola in Mexico, IIRC.  And here he is, making these ads that basically get him *nothing*, against Trump.  It says something, that a right-winger like Fox from another country, is doing this.

    He was the guy who broke the PRI’s stranglehold on power which made Mexico a better place on its own.  Regardless of what he accmplished.

    So has anyone checked out Fox News to see what they are saying about the Dem Convention?  I don’t have the energy.  But I’m curious about what talking points they are settling on to spin their shit.

    WOW!  I literally almost tipped over my chair laughing so hard at V.Fox’s video punking Trump.  Surely various leaders across the world, friend and foe alike, are rolling on the floor are viewing this and rolling on the floor laughing as this hilarious deserved utter humiliation of Donald Trump.

    Right out of the box, Fox went for the juglar with the “Always ask before grabbing a pussy” hat.

    It is such a pity that he and Jimmy Carter are too old to do a buddy comedy together.  Both are amazing ex-Presidents but in such different ways.
