Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

So many bastards, so little time.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

According to this BBC report, listening to fast music can be dangerous to your health. Well, it’s actually according to Israeli researchers, as reported by the BBC. At any rate, they found that:

Listening to fast music in the car may make people drive too quickly as well – increasing their risk of having an accident.
Israeli researchers found drivers who listen to uptempo tunes had more than twice as many accidents as those listening to slower music.

At any rate, this will come as no surprise to anyone who has been screaming about the recent handheld cell while driving prohibitions- doing anything that creates COGNITIVE INTERFERENCE when behind the wheel of a car makes the vehicle more dangerous to you and everyone else on the road. I don’t care if it is eating a burger, picking your nose intently, talking on a cell phone, listening to Metallica at ear bleeding volume, or figuring out every prime number between 1 and 5 bazillion. It is the DISTRACTION, not the activity.

Sheesh.
