Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When we show up, we win.

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

All hail the time of the bunny!

Fight them, without becoming them!

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

American history and black history cannot be separated.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Just file this under things you never thought you would see, and once you did, you had to do a double-take:

    Does Sharon meet with every crackhead who traipses over to Israel, or just the rich ones?

    I don’t even think that’s really Sharon. It looks a little like one of those cardboard cutouts of famous people that you can pose with at amusement parks.

    Besides, it’s not like Whitney or Bobby would be sober enough to tell the difference.

    The full story is even funnier than The Vapid meeting The Rotund. Houston is over to visit with some blacks who’ve been convinced by a Chicago cabby that they’re a lost tribe of Israel – the recruits relocated to Israel and practice polygamy while the men refer to themselves as ‘Saints’.

    There must be this huge Zany Magnet buried in the Middle East…
