Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Alexa, change the president.”

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

So many bastards, so little time.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

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

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

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Yes, John, Sometimes I Do Despair:

For many of us who lean to the right but are under the age of 50 and hence missed out on all the good segregation, homophobia, and bigotry of the past, attitudes like this do make us despair:

K-Lo: So DC’s first baby of the year was born to a lesbian couple. New York’s seems to have been to a black single mother. Don’t you sometimes feel like giving in to despair?

Thank you, Derbyshire, for being an unrepentant moron. Thank you for giving some jackass Democrat another opportunity to call all Republicans homophobes and bigots just because we belong to the same party as you. Damned moron.

Some of us out here, btw, Derb., think that maybe a loving father and mother is the best combination. But I will take a gay couple or lesbian couple or a loving single green mother over a dysfunctional family, or no family, or a family that raises children with your bigoted, prejudiced, busybody beliefs. I’ll take two good parents, male-male, female-female, black, white, red, yellow, or green, over your faux morality any day of the week, you ignorant piker.

Can’t keep liberals out of my wallet, can’t keep conservatives out of my bedroom.
