Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

Militantly superior in their own minds…

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Just a few bad apples.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

No one could have predicted…

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Verified, but limited!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

Everybody saw this coming.

I’m going back to the respite thread.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

This really is a full service blog.

Let there be snark.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

This blog goes to 11…

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

How about that weather?

This post is in: How about that weather?, Open Threads, Politics

You watching the debate tonight? I will, if I have power. It’s off and on today due to thunderstorms. (I missed the second half of the last debate because of a thunderstorm!) Dave Weigel’s debate preview in The Post is here. My guess is Sanders will be extra shouty. But that’s like predicting thunderstorms in …

New: at a recent Twitter all-hands meeting, an employee asked: Twitter has eradicated ISIS. Why can’t it do the same for white supremacists? One answer that is discussed internally, we found: because it would mean banning some Republican politicians too https://t.co/x6JRvdvJJG pic.twitter.com/VRnht57WkN — Joseph Cox (@josephfcox) April 25, 2019 Whose heart is having palpitations?
