Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

When we show up, we win.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

Books are my comfort food!

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

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

If you have a substantive comment, no matter how combative, it can stay. If you are like the idiot I just banned who just cut and pasted the same comment to every post, well, you will be like that idiot. Banned.

    Just do what I do. I re-write them for comedic effect.
