Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

Come on, man.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Stand up, dammit!

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

The Greatest Female Athlete Ever?

Congratulations, Serena.

Not since Mildred “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias or Althea Gibson has there been a female this dominant and this talented- in any sport- and her sister, Venus, is just as talented. Plus, they are attractive. Really attractive.

And for you out there carping about her sitting on the flag- lighten up. I was in the military for ten years and I know that this is not how you are supposed to treat the flag, but so what? This was no intentional slight- she isn’t burning it like some people, and there is no doubt in my mind she is proud to be an American. This is the face of the meritocracy people claim to want- this is the face of America.

*** Update ***

Before I get 500 emails, I am not implying that anyone who is mad at Serena for sitting on the flag is racist. That is how the left thinks- everything is about race. My point was that this is an innocent flap, a nothing in the big picture of things. I am sure if she knew how much it upset people (yes, I am channeling Serena), she would probably not do it again. My point about meritocracy was that given an equal opportunity- the best succeed- because they are the best. I can’t think of a better face to represent the U.S.

    Serena has a great smile, and she’s had a lot to smile about lately.
