Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Second rate reporter says what?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Petty moves from a petty man.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Pedantry 101

Apparently, according the master of maturity, it is juvenile to call a democrat a democrat, and just as bad to call a democrat a member of the Democrat party.

Note the puerile use of ‘Democrat party’ in place of the correct usage, ‘Democratic party.’

The reason people call it the Democrat party is not to be juvenile, but because you jackasses use the phrase only when you want to make all the rest of the opposition seem UN-democratic. Is Michael Kinsely Marshall’s tutor?
