Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This is a big f—–g deal.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Trump is going to draw a dick on that dog with a sharpie, isn’t he?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Lighten up, Francis.

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

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

Everybody saw this coming.

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

The revolution will be supervised.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This is how realignments happen…

Call the National Guard if your insurrection lasts more than four hours.

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

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

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

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

Nevertheless, she persisted.

What fresh hell is this?
