Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

“woke” is the new caravan.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Talkleft points to another disgraceful turn of events in the war on your neighbors:

We are very saddened tonight by the news of the conviction of author and medical marijuana activist Ed Rosenthal in San Francisco. He will be sentenced Tuesday to a mandatory minimum ten year sentence. The maximum sentence is life.

    Rosenthal won’t be sentenced until June but all the other bad stuff is accurate. We all seem to agree on the need for sensible
    drug policies. Why isn’t it happening?
    Thanks for calling attention to it.
