Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The lights are all blinking red.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

People are weird.

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

Let there be snark.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Tom Harkin, Limousine Liberal??

My favorite line from Tom Harkin’s (Dipshit, Iowa) idiotic speech at the pep-rally the other night was this gem:

Please stand up for Paul, and fight for better wages for those who mop our floors and clean our bathrooms.

This is populism? This is elitism. Translation:

We should have the moral courage to stand up and pay our servants more. Won’t you please join me in this crusade? For Paul? Please?

Hey Tom- You have people mopping your floors and cleaning your bathrooms. Fine. But if you want better wages for them, how ’bout you give em a raise and leave me out of it. Me, I mop my own floor and clean my own bathroom (I also do my kitchen, wash my car, go to work, clean up after my cat, do my laundry, and make my bed). I can tell you how you can give me better wages. Keep your idiotic ideas out of my life, and quit trying to tax the living daylights out of me, you corn-fed fraud.
