Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

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

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

I really should read my own blog.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Why I Read Blogs, Part 9,000,726

Because the members of ‘mainstream media’ are blithering idiots (no offense to William Sulik). I get home from work, turn the television on, and it is on MSNBC. I pay attention for thirty seconds, and my blood begins to boil.

The debate du jour is between anti-spanking and pro-spanking advocates, and the debate has been sparked by the Madelyne Toogood case.

Earth to the media and to anti-spanking advocates. Madelyne Toogood was not spanking her child, she was assaulting her. She was beating her. It was BATTERY. For anti-spanking advocates to even draw parallels to this is obscene. This dumber than the morons at handgun Control, Inc. using the war on terror to push for more gun legislation.

And as for the media. Oh, who cares. The fact that they even thought to invite these guests in relation to the Toogood beating shows you how stupid they are. Grrr.
