Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Let there be snark.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

    If that dog has nothing better to do, couldn’t he run out and bite Rick Santorum?

    So, the billionaires are giving 10s of millions of dollars to GOP campaigns. How many jobs are these job creators willfully throwing away in the name of supporting 4 men? My wingnut job creator equation isn’t balancing.

    Paczki day. I had a prune one. Can only get them in Hamtramck or similar Polish enclave.
    Yummy!

    @BGinCHI: In that case, somebody at least needs to cook Santorum really, really well before Max touches him. You never know what kinds of life those “pro-life” people are harboring. If they’re serious, they don’t so much as shower for fear of killing off little bits of themselves that might otherwise survive.

    Speaking of cooking…this video at the 19 minute mark hints at why it drives me crazy when people talk about how easy cooking is. It’s like native English speakers complaining about how easy English is to speak and how they just don’t get why not everybody speaks English. It’s absurd. And I hate to see otherwise intelligent people spouting absurd ideas.

    It’s funny that right after the pup, the next thing I noticed was how all the couch surfaces are covered. Does he have a ‘leaking’ issue?

    I guess Max is keeping his eye on that red wine warming by the fire.

    @quannlace:

    If I’m eyeballing the photo correctly, there’s a wine rack ironically inside the hearth, only that magnum is too big to fit. Max ensures ain’t nobody drinking any wine before he sez.
