Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

If you are as depressed

If you are as depressed as I am about Layne, Welch, and everything else, just remember that we are still blessed with William Quick and Stephen Green and Megan McCardle and Martin Devon and so many others who do great work.

And we always have Jeff Goldstein and Andrea Harris to say what you were thinking but didn’t have the balls to say.

There are so many others- LGF, Daimnation, etc. I am here to tell you that the status of blogging is good.
