Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

Excellent

I shoveled for an hour, making a path through the 2 feet of snow to my car, at which point I started to dig my car out. After I got one shovelful out of the way, the snowplow came and plowed me in deeper than I was before. I threw my shovel at them and I went inside.

Fortunately, this pictured really cheered me up.

    I like hearing about the snow. . . because I am completely away from it. In fact, we have hardly had a winter in the Pacific Northwest. Flowers are actually in bloom, now.

    I usually love the snow- but this is the first winter where it has been annoying. It never accumulated, but snowed every night. Every morning, you had to go out and clean your car to get the inch or so off. I like it when it snows like this- except I was unsure if the university would be open tomorrow.

    Snow? Keep it!

    I’ll take hurricanes any time.

    My personal Mason-Dixon line is I-10, anything north of that (Houston/San Antonio, etc.) is Yankee and means cold to me.
