Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Stand up, dammit!

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Mortified

I was flipping through the channels and was absolutely mortified when I saw the Laci Peterson music video memorial being shown live on one of the cable networks, as if this was somehow newsworthy. Just a couple of quick notes:

1.) This was a publicity stunt to convict Scott Peterson- nothing more. This was poisoning the well- and they damn well know it. I am not going to tell people how to mourn, but privately might be a start.

2.) Is there anyone who thinks Scott Peterson can get a fair trial? Anyone?

3.) The new American lynch mobs have French manicures instead of leather work gloves, wear white tennis shoes instead of boots, drive mini-vans rather than a horse or a pick-up, and go to church instead of the saloon. Talk Left and Josh Marshall can tell you more about one of the lynch mob leaders.

    I hate having to agree with John on this one…

    But I have to admit that John’s 100% right This is the problem with all this “push” that these media outlets make with these high-profile cases, how can anyone say that an accused person is going to get a fair…
