Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

    there’s also the minor detail that herpes is a virus, and so not a bacteria at all.

    but that won’t bother fox news.

    Unrelated: I expect imminent apologies from the League of Traitorous Republican Southern Senators to U.S. auto companies and the UAW:

    Honda, Mazda May Apply for Japanese Government Loans (Update1)

    By Makiko Kitamura and Tetsuya Komatsu | Bloomberg

    March 4 (Bloomberg) — Honda Motor Co., suffering from a 38 percent plunge in U.S. auto sales in February, may ask to borrow money from Japan’s government to lend to U.S. car buyers.

    The amount of the loans and timing of the request to the state-owned Japan Bank for International Cooperation haven’t yet been determined, spokeswoman Akemi Ando said by phone today. Mazda Motor Corp. is also considering a request for government loans, spokesman Toyota Tanaka said today.

    Honda and Mazda would follow Toyota Motor Corp., Japan’s biggest carmaker, in seeking loans from the government as the global recession hammers auto demand. U.S. auto sales in February slid to the lowest rate since December 1981, led by a 53 percent plunge for General Motors Corp.

    “Things look pretty grim at present,” said Edwin Merner, president of Atlantis Investment Research Corp. in Tokyo, which manages $3.1 billion. “By the end of the year, the year-on-year figures should start improving unless the world economy gets much worse.”

    Free market! Damn UAW! $70/hr! Inefficient! Welfare! Socialism!

    My turn to say what everybody says in these situations.

    Why is the most responsible journalism — you know, with fact checking and such — coming from Comedy Central?

    Man, I wish it was just Fox. The entire news media went into a feeding frenzy on this. Fox’n’Friends just managed to win the title of Biggest Asshat in the Asshat Parade.

    Now the RSSF battle plan makes sense. They’re counting on their balls bacteria covertly taking out the targets. That’s the hidden genius.

    Welcome to Fox News, where we hire a busty doctor to tell people not to eat stuff that hit the floor.

    Why are these people so opposed to the quote unquote nanny state? They really look like they could benefit from it.

    Because reality has surpassed parody.

    Beer Pong seems to require a very elaborate setup for a drinking game.

    Whatever happened to good old-fashioned Quarters?

    The real message that Fox should have been promoting would be to make sure that the beer is IPA. It has more hops in it, which kills the bacteria on the ball.

    Oh, yes, almost forgot. What the f!ck?

    Now don’t confuse this sexually transmitted disease with herpes simplex 1. Herpes simplex 1 are facial cold sores!!

    The strain of herpes complex type 2 (HVP) is a sexually transmitted disease of the genitals, and is transmitted by direct skin contact.

    Hmmm, I thought this was common knowledge. Obviously not.
