Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Be a wild strawberry.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Books are my comfort food!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Here is to hoping that Anne Coughman and crew at Protein Wisdom are in a bad mood when they read Rall’s latest offering.

I am currently working on a research project, and am asking for any information any of you might have. My project is examining the history of American Education in the Post WWII era, examining the impact of the GI Bill. I have a great deal of info already, but if there is one thing I have learned, it is that blog readers are an EXCEPTIONALLY powerful research asset. If anyone has anything that might appear relevant, please feel free to forward it to me via e-mail.

Damian Penny deconstructs Barry Zwicker’s assertion that the Osama video was faked.

Don’t forget, Mr. Zwicker. The Jews control the media. MORE PROOF, you noodlehead. For those who do not know, that last link is to the National Vanguard, aka the lunatic fringe.

Osama bin Laden’s reign of terror officially ended this morning at around 9 am, when every major cable news network (FOX, CNN, MSNBC) stopped sniffing anthrax and chasing suticase nukes to air the closing arguments in the hockey murder case.
