Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In my day, never was longer.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Second rate reporter says what?

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Let there be snark.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Amusing

Here is a quick test to tell if you have succumbed to irrational Bush Hatred. Read your posts back to yourself, and if it sounds like something Maureen Dowd wrote after two cosmopolitans, you are an irrational Bush hater. Check out this ridiculousness:

Sopranos Finale

I think last night’s episode sort of made up for a rather slow and lackluster season. All-in-all the decision-making reminded me of the Bush administration interagency process. As one of the captains said, “I’m willing to die for a good cause, but this is bullshit.” Meanwhile, the fearless leaders stuffs his face with ice cream while dreaming of Rommel.

It’s all there- projection, distortion, and contempt, all wrapped up in a condescending wrapper of references to pop culture.

BTW- that wasn’t written by Dowd. That was written by the ‘moderate’ Matt Yglesias (who, btw, went to Harvard), and is really smart- just ask him. At anyrate, Dowd would probably need more than two cosmopolitans before writing that crap.
