Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

In after Baud. Damn.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

No one could have predicted…

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Let there be snark.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

    @KatKapCC: Click on the You Tube icon on the bottom left of the screen.  Usually it will let you view it when you click over to You Tube to view.

    ETA: You Tube is getting picky about free viewers especially on embeds.  I finally logged in using an old gmail account to view a recent video but I still am getting that prompt.

    @Scout211: Right, but just saying that the embed seems to be acting up.

    @Baud:

    That kind of thing has to be adding up to something good for our team. I can’t believe every single R voter is unmovable.

    @Melancholy Jaques:

    I like to think so. I see it everywhere. There was some of that in 2020, but nothing like the level I’ve seen this year.

    I’ll take their votes, then they can fuck off.  Most were the institutional Republican Party, which was MAGAtRump without the open fascism of the Orange Queens interloper.  Better clothes and vocabulary covering the same shit.  (Well to their credit I don’t think they’ll fellate Putin like the current leader.)  They want their party back from the Booberts, MenacingMarges etc that they thought they had harnessed.  They don’t have the numbers, balls, whatev to do it from the inside, so they have to bring down the structure to whack the occupants, even though they are the architects.  Then they’ll start again.  It was only 6 years between Watergate (Noxin’s resignation) & Reagan.

    While Kamala Harris prosecuted her case, Michelle Obama had Atlanta line dancing before her GOTV rally. Joy is spreads much quicker than MAGA hate.

    @Ksmiami: You just reminded me — TIL that Francis Ford Coppola went to the same high school/military thing as donald trump. They were there together when Coppola was 17 and donald was 13.

    Back to normal conversation, because this means nothing but I just found it strange to think about.

    @hitchhiker: Coppola used Donald Trump as the basis for the Fredo Corleone character I believe.
