Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

T R E 4 5 O N

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The lights are all blinking red.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Bark louder, little dog.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

    wow, I actually have something to add to this.

    Near Santa Cruz, CA this happens every fall-spring, I forget, but it happens, and its these butterfly’s I belive. They actually migrate every year to make, like over a 1000 miles. I’ve actually been to the grove where they stay and mate. Its really beatiful butterfly’s flying around you. you just have to watch your step!

    Strangely enough: I’m pretty sure I saw a similar picture several years ago, like in National Geographic. IIRC, it included the part about the police too.

    To see the stone equivalent, check out the left formation from sonora caverns in TX. That’s not the best picture, but it’s a small cave formation in the shape of a b’fly.

    Kneel before the King, you dolt!

    John Cole took a break from the serious side of the news to bring us a little ditty about a group of tourin’ monarchs and their security entourage….
