Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

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

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Not all heroes wear capes.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

So many bastards, so little time.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

I can not believe it

I can not believe it has been a week since I wrote my last post, and things have been nuttier than ever here. Since I last wrote, my best friend has had an emergency appendectomy (thank goodness he is a nurse and went to the ER in time), my good friend had an uncle go into the hospital with a massive heart attack, and I was in a car wreck in which the car was a total wreck. I got out with a sore back and a sore neck. At any rate, my string of good luck continues, but I am not giving up. It is summer, so I was away my blues with frozen drinks, good music, and salsa. Corona works well too, as well as copious amounts of Don Eduardo tequila.
