Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

“woke” is the new caravan.

In my day, never was longer.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

We will not go back.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Bark louder, little dog.

Mail Call: Got a couple

Mail Call:

Got a couple of them that were pretty much hate mail, which is always fun. I will go through some of the issues addressed:

1.) To the reader who said I was a bigot because I said that we should throw very religious people to the lions, I would like to direct you to this sight. You will find a full discussion of what quotations are, and when they are used. After you check up on that, please re-read the offending piece here. You should note that I was quoting P.J. O’Rourke, and those were not my words. True, I may have tricked you by using italics instead of quotation marks, and for that I am sorry.

2.) To the drooling idiot who thinks I have ‘no f*****g compassion’ because I want the terrorists to starve themselves to death and then be thrown to the sharks, I would like to point out that what I do not have in compassion, I make up for in my sense of humor. What is funny, you say? These thugs spend five years beating, torturing, and starving the population in Afghanistan, and then when captured and treated like royalty by our servicemen, they decide to starve themselves to death. That is funny, and at least they are consistent. And, I might add, so our European friends don’t become all agitated, it is their right to kill themselves. We wouldn’t want to abuse their rights.

3.) My favorite reader comment to date: “Go polish your jackboots swastika-boy.”

Regular posting will resume when I finish laughing.
