Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

T R E 4 5 O N

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Basic Geography

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

This is Niger. Niger is one of many countries located on the continent known as Africa.

While it appears that no Democrats understand this basic geographic distinction, the Washington Post does. Congrats to the WaPo ombudsman. Now if we can just get Democrats to quit lying about the ’16 words’ in the State of the Union address, we will be making real progress. And before you question me- the Democrats are lying. They really aren’t this stupid- they just think you are.

    Wait…I thought Africa was completely encompassed by Niger. You’re saying that’s not true?
