Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The National Guard is not Batman.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Bark louder, little dog.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

How stupid are these people?

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

T R E 4 5 O N

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

    Two minutes and change left in the game. This is even funnier than Cole putting up a thread halfway through the fourth quarter.

    Never heard national announcers more in the bag for one team than this crew is for the Cavs. Everything Cleveland has done is their brilliance; everything the Warriors do is the result of a Cleveland error. Not to mention that they completely blew the analysis in the first half; Golden State’s lethargy was the result of no movement without the ball and no ball movement, at least as much as Cleveland’s then-excellent defense.

    Terrific game, though.

    The Warriors tossed the spherical ball through the ring more times than the Cavaliers, allowing them to prevail.

    Someone forgot to remind the Cavs at halftime. They were turrible in the 4th quarter.

    I turned on the TV to a rugby game, and a basketball game broke out right in the midst of it from time to time.

    Woot! Spirited game. Riley’s this close to a presser with her pap! Golden State Warriors beating the Cav’s in the final minutes. 8
    Giants leading the Dodgers and Sharks readying for the next game. It’s a great time to be an old time Bay Area resident. All are decades in the making and satisfying after years of dashed hopes, injuries, team building…

    Dubs pissed Bron off. His jumper is also trash.

    All BJ basketball posts should start when the game is almost over, at least if it is a Warriors game. That is obvious now.
    Whooooooooooooshhhhhh!

    I dislike the dubs but a Cavaliers embarrassment increases the flight risk for Durant to the eastern conference. So I’m a neutral observer I guess.
