Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

White supremacy is terrorism.

The National Guard is not Batman.

“But what about the lurkers?”

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

    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.

    That is hysterical.

    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?

    Where is Vicente Fox when you need him?  Moar por favor.

    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.

    The man was a mixed bag as Mexico’s president – but he is an EXCELLENT troller. :-)

    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.
