Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Peak wingnut was a lie.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Republicans in disarray!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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.
