Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Let’s finish the job.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Finally, Some Good News From Abroad

This is wonderful news:

A single mother facing death by stoning for adultery had her sentence overturned by an Islamic appeals court Thursday in a case that has sparked international outrage.

A five-judge panel rejected the sentence against 32-year-old Amina Lawal, saying she was not caught in the act of adultery and she was not given “ample opportunity to defend herself.”

If the sentence had been carried out, the single mother would have been the first woman stoned to death since 12 northern states first began adopting strict Islamic law, or Shariah, in 1999.

Now, get rid of the stupid law that convicted her in the first place.
