Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

This blog will pay for itself.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Not all heroes wear capes.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

The revolution will be supervised.

Everybody saw this coming.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Even given Corey Lewandowski's past behavior he comes off as an abusive, out-of-control prick in this well-sourced story. https://t.co/s8nc0fzzFZ

Just so as we’re all up to date on the latest GOP outbreak…

Turns out the thing that gets Trump to actually believe a credible, witness-corroborated accusation of sexual abuse is a $100,000 SuperPac donation from the victim. https://t.co/6HlTQbc4CG

Late Night Open Thread: This Is the *Weirdest* Timeline

Pop superstar Shakira says she was attacked by pair of wild boars in Barcelona parkhttps://t.co/nl50YJ6hXb

— BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) September 30, 2021

Remember last summer’s “German nudist chases laptop-stealing wild boar“? Well…

Pop superstar Shakira says she was the victim of a random attack by a pair of wild boars while walking in a park in Barcelona with her eight-year-old son.

The Colombian singer said the animals attacked her, before seizing her bag and retreating with it into the woods.

She shared her bizarre tale in a series of Instagram stories on Wednesday.

Holding the now recovered but torn bag towards the camera, she said: “Look at how two wild boar which attacked me in the park have left my bag.”

“They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it,” the singer continued. “They’ve destroyed everything.”

She then turned to her son, whose father is the Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué, and said: “Milan tell the truth. Say how your mummy stood up to the wild boar.”

Shakira is the latest victim of the increasingly aggressive hogs which have invaded the Catalan capital in recent years.

In 2016, Spanish police received 1,187 phone calls about wild hogs attacking dogs, plundering cat-feeders, holding up traffic and running into cars in the city…

Well, at least it’s from a different Margaret Atwood novel…
