Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Be a wild strawberry.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Wait, what?

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

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

It’s nice that Trump partisans and Trump critics can come together in agreement about the proposition that Jared Kushner is useless. America needs unity, and Jared can provide it. https://t.co/ObtlBMKFut

— Josh Barro (@jbarro) June 4, 2019

Sometimes one perfectly crafted line can capture an entire life: “Despite criticism and defeats, Mr. Kushner has always showed complete confidence in his own problem-solving abilities…” https://t.co/hQAO0iPBYZ

Young Prince Jared has been all over the media recently…

I have now watched the whole @jonathanvswan – Jared Kushner interview and I have never seen any government official from the school board to the White House less prepared to answer questions.

It takes just one minute to confirm what a totally disingenuous, apologist stooge Jared Kushner truly is. pic.twitter.com/Tbk7IIRTr0

— Justin Hendrix (@justinhendrix) June 3, 2019

Kushner did deliver 2 accurate verdicts on the Trump admin: it brought in “people who never wud’ve been in Washington before who were not qualified by conventional standards” & the current WH has changed “how we think abt America’s place in the world.” https://t.co/YYk1Sijddi

— Hina Alam (@hinakalam) June 3, 2019

Reminder that Jared has a TS/SCI clearance. If he doesn't realize that as a clearance holder he'd be LEGALLY REQUIRED to report such a contact now, he should lose his clearance. Except of course you can't fire the crown prince. https://t.co/0SMqM9hpJT

— David Burbach (@dburbach) June 3, 2019


Axios: “Does it not set off some alarm bells when you see an email that the Russian government wants to help the campaign?”

Kushner: “The email that I got on my iPhone said ‘Show up at 4’
I didn’t scroll down…”

Axios: “It had Russia in the subject line.” pic.twitter.com/Dwmz5APZhf

moderating force, adult in the room and existential question are words I hope we never have to read again about the inhabitants of this White House

— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) June 3, 2019

I’ll believe that Jared Kushner is growing into his role as a White House staffer when his long-delayed Middle East plans are no longer perceived as unserious. https://t.co/WMH650BIuR pic.twitter.com/UKrx0vm4up

— Daniel W. Drezner (@dandrezner) June 3, 2019

Not that it will make any difference, but I chipped in some snack money just because it’ll irk the living shite out of the Oval Office Squatter:

We are crowdfunding a full page ad in the New York Times to embarrass Prince Dumbshit Jared Kushner. Every dollar counts – please also retweet and spread the word far and wide! https://t.co/t843tPBLng pic.twitter.com/fVYjYeNiEC

    Okay, he can’t help his looks much, but I’m going off anyway…

    Kushner has limp, oily hair combed in the unbecoming style of a third grade child. He’s got a lump of a nose, fat and smirky lips, assymetrical eyebrows, a dull, disingenuous look to his eyes, and the physique of a scarecrow.

    At some point in young adulthood I had a lesson on leadership: if you see something wrong, and do nothing and say nothing, then you are condoning the behavior or situation. You have signaled that it is acceptable to you.

    By his actions – or lack of action – Jared is fine with Trump’s racism.

    Keep in mind, that according to Prince Mohammed Bone Saw, Jarvanka brought him the lists of his Sawdi victims, taken from the Presidential Daily Briefs, based on NSA phone transcripts,

    Which Prince Mohammed Bone Saw used to arrest, torture and kill activists and opponents.

    I have never seen a single picture of Jared Kushner in which he looks human. In every single photo and every video appearance, he always looks like a character from one of the Men In Black movies seconds before his head splits open to reveal that he’s actually an android being piloted by a slug of some kind from a cockpit hidden in his cranium.

    a smart republican would have had a good bullshit assholish answer in the can, like

    is questioning the life story obama gave us all inherently racist? i’d say no. partisan? sure, lots of people don’t trust democrats and for good reason. but distrusting democrats doesn’t make you automatically racist.

    jesus, i felt dirty coming up with that shit. thank fucking god these guys are all idiots.

    @Citizen Alan:

    Just so… Kushner’s personality and appearance are animatronic. Of course, his wife is afraid that expressing any emotion will ruin all of that cosmetic surgery Daddy paid for.

    my issue is why should we have to PAY the fucking NY Times to run an ad about something that is so plainly evident.

    The last thing I want to do with my hard earned cash is give it to the NY Times to publicize what it should be doing as our supposed news standard. The money is better spent at the Post who at least isn’t at the GOP trough nearly as much as the Old Grey Lady.

    They’ve kept him well under wraps and now we know why. It’s another count in the impeachment that Twitler thought he could solve the Middle East, the opioid crisis, and every other problem the best minds of the Obama administration couldn’t fix.

    @Citizen Alan: I’ve been telling people that that’s not his real face. Really about all I can say about him. Except also to note that with him and certain of his associates, saying seemingly dumb shit like “I didn’t scroll down” might be an intended dominance display: “You’ll take your bullshit and like it!”

    @Citizen Alan:

    He was actually very pretty when he was young but he’s botoxed himself into the uncanny valley.

    Jared’s Agent Smith-from-The Matrix mug, I should note, is probably the least heinous thing about him.

    And I second Dan B; NYT isn’t getting a farthing from me. I lack the words to describe my hatred of the Times—I positively cackle when I open up an incognito window to steal more free page-views.

    Not actually trying to fix them explains everything pretty neatly.

    @trnc: I thought Kellyanne Conway was named the lead for the opioid crisis, not Jared. It shows how serious Trump is about the crisis, that he named his top spin person to the role.
