Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

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

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The Russian dirty bomb agitprop hit a new low today: The photos MFA Russia used for their "dirty bomb in Ukraine" claims are actually from 2010 and made by the Slovenian Radioactive Waste Management Authority. pic.twitter.com/GQdC318AwZ — Bakhti Nishanov (@b_nishanov) October 26, 2022 I realize the war isn’t going well, but make an effort!
