Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

When we show up, we win.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

We will not go back.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

In my day, never was longer.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Mikey if the plan was to drive a bunch of rosgvardia into the center of town on their own so they could get lmaoed then it was a shitty plan. I don't need to read the thing to know that https://t.co/HffXb3Gwh3

It’s been a long stressful week, we’re all tired, and the Butter Goblin selflessly offers himself up as a chew toy…

Gotta be some bored social media pranksters working up competing versions of THE PLAN!!! right now, amirite?

Not at all… the *real* plan was to strengthen the resolve of NATO to check Russian aggression and bring all the players on to the same page. pic.twitter.com/pYWAaBsCTW

    I love that Tracey’s sole purpose at this point is to serve up hot takes to be relentlessly mocked.

    He doesn’t seem to have learned anything since that snooping incident at that base in Poland.  ??‍♀️

    @SalterWobchak: Apparently part of the Russian plan was for seven of their generals to be killed in the course of a month.  During one of my “jobs” I told my boss that crashing the system and wiping out the database was part of the plan.  Can’t argue with that logic.   ndtv.com/world-news/7-russian-generals-killed-in-ukraine-war-so-far-western-official-2844045

    And to convince Germany to spend an extra 100B euros on defense. Getting Germany to expand their military is a brilliant plan for Russia.

    @SalterWobchak:

    Someone has to do it.

    And he seems to revel in being a dumbass. I don’t think anyone should imped progress in this effort to prove him a top notch specimen.

    @TonyG:

    Don’t worry, they weren’t the “good” generals. After all they aren’t around to complain about not being around any longer.

    Part of the fun of being on Twitter is enjoying the often brilliant take downs of clowns like Tracey. Snarkalicious!

    @TonyG:  And the Russian tankers that ran over their commander were also just following the plan. (I love how this is described as “morale challenges.” This seems like something a bit more serious than just a challenge.)

    @mdblanche: You know how crappy the Russian soldiers are? They have trouble killing a guy they run over with a tank.

    To quote one of my favorite stand up comedians,  “I don’t know anything about helicopters either but if I see one in a tree then I know somebody effed up!”

    @VOR: I did like the German who was quoted here a few weeks ago. Something like “So the plan is that Germany will build up an army, march through Poland, and invade Russia? Just wanting to get that in writing ahead of time.”

    @satby: Among others, Centrist Fan Account (@Wilson_Valdez) does a good job unloading sarcasm on “Glem” Greenwald.

    Mr. Valdez, in the heading for his Twitter account, proudly discloses that the serious Mr. Sirota called it “the worst account on Twitter.”
