Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

The words do not have to be perfect.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

In a rhetorical smack-down of unparalleled dimensions, Anne D. Coughman at Protein Wisdom gives Ted Rall the thrashing of his life. I have read this four times, and I laugh out loud each time. This really should be a how-to example for bludgeoning morons, and it ranks up there with P.J. O’Rourke’s Kennedy-hating manual (Mordred Had a Point- Camelot Revisited in Give War A Chance). Perhaps reciting this should be required to join Charles Johnson’s Anti-Idiotarian party.

Also, do not miss PhotoDude’s take on the H. Rap Brown trial, currently underway in Atlanta.

Back to work. Let it be known I officially hate writing abstracts.
