Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Reality Check

This is Censorship.

Cancelling a poetry reading by Tom Paulin, someone whose views are beyond the pale, is not.

There is a difference between telling someone you can’t say something and telling them we would rather not fund your opinions or provide you with a forum to espouse your idiocy.
