Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Consistently wrong since 2002

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

He really is that stupid.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I was promised a recession.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

    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.

    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.
