Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Come on, man.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

“woke” is the new caravan.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

This fight is for everything.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Everybody saw this coming.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Oh boy…

This photo clearly suggests that the ex-President shows great respect for the importance of classified documents, right? pic.twitter.com/GvXnwxVOP5

This thread:

2/ As a starting point, it's apparent the DOJ was concerned that the judge took Trump's motion — which was bizarre, unprecedented, and without basis in law — seriously.

Their filing is full of factual information rebutting Trump's false claims and compelling legal arguments.

NEW: Trump team 'likely concealed' classified records from investigators, DOJ says.

More details as DOJ fights the appointment of a special master.

With that news, I’m off to put everyone to bed and get some more work done.

I’m sure he’ll make his millions on the speaker circuit, but @BorisJohnson’s deadly mismanagement of Covid-19 will be his enduring, unforgivable legacy: pic.twitter.com/qup7b5yP0F

(Rwanda, where Boris Johnson’s government wanted to send asylum seekers)

Day 2 of Boris Johnson squatting and we’ve got fresh allegations about his ditching security to meet ex KGB agent when he was PM and we learn the refurb of his flat cost £200k. Another scandal will be along tomorrow. Get out of Number 10.

True — he’s an Upper East Side anchor baby:
