Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

He really is that stupid.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Late Night Open Thread: Ginger Cats Go Where They Like

Meet "Ryzhyk". He ran away from the hostess who is hiding from the bombing in our basement, and hid in the chapel on the closet :) In addition to the cat we have dogs and a parrot. God bless us! #Ukraine #Kyiv pic.twitter.com/AuogZPtCZ4

Jorts has a potential competitor! These tweets showed up in Foreign Affairs editor James Palmer’s Twitter feed. Ryzhyk does not look, to me, as though he is particularly scared, does he?

"Ryzhyk" is very scared, so he got out from the closet in the sacristy and came to me for Holy Mass. He did not receive Holy Communion, apparently, he did not confess! pic.twitter.com/eC0XLCLzlz

— Fr. Vyacheslav SAC (@VGrynevych) February 27, 2022


(For those not raised in the Church, one has to be in ‘a state of grace’, attainable by confessing one’s sins, in order to receive a Communion wafer. For your average ginger cat, that would mean a period of no more than 75 seconds between absolution and the Communion service… )

    I can’t comment about anything without first saying all my hopes are with the people of Ukraine.   I also dearly hope this is the last time our world will resort to invasion and war, …yeah, I am a dreamer.  You can join me

    I’m also curious as to how many geoducks are on here?

    @mrmoshpotato: mrmoshpotato, yep. 
    I basically want a Wicker Man with Mitch McConnell  in it (no Q – him first ) and maybe Murdoch. Yes, more complicated to get, but followed by Putaine…  yes that was deliberate. Trump would be a bonus. Never mind bothering to fire them into the sun. We can do this here in srsly natural ways. Lumber +straw? <$5K. Considerably cheaper than a lift off from Earth into the sun.

    A little more choral music in the Kievian tradition.
    In Russian, “Spaséñiye, sodélal” sung by men of the U.S. Army chorus.
    In English, “Salvation Is Created” sung in the original mixed chorus version by the Te Deum Choir. Perhaps Rhyzyk, the dog, and the birds would sing along.

    No, Kitty doesn’t look scared to me.  Has a rather proud air, in fact.

    Russian Central Bank raises borrowing rates from 9.5% to 20%.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to get an adjustable rate mortgage from Vodka Savings and Loan

    I always wondered what “state of grace” (1990 film) meant. Pre google, I was too lazy to look it up at the library. The first two acts of the movie were great, with Gary Oldman stealing the movie, but the third act stunk.​

    @Amir Khalid: Yes, and I do believe he is an alum. The Evergreen State College mascot is a geoduck, hence my query.
