Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

So many bastards, so little time.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Half of me (Ok- all

Half of me (Ok- all of me) wanted to televise John Dingell being strip-searched at an airport after this outburst (the title prompted me to ask “who the hell keeps electing John Dingell”), but Safire calmed me down.

I am for freedom of information, but after the last 8 years of Dingell and company looking the other way while the Clinton’s ******** (insert you favorite scandal or blatant act of questionably legal or outright illegal patronage and otherwise criminal behavior here) makes me spit nails.

I am holding off til tomorrow to read Herbert. I need to go to bed tonight and he agitates me.
