Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

    My neighbor’s not here illegally.

    Does that mean, Meezer, that it’s OK to break the law if the victims aren’t legal immigrants?

    Hey, don’t you know there’s a War on Terror on? We don’t have time for such niceties as civil rights and oversight of law-enforcement bodies. Wake up, America!

    Which is exactly why John keeps sweeping this stuff under the carpet, Kimmitt.

    If it’s up there, but Ashcroft is still in charge, it really doesn’t make much of a difference.

    By that logic, you should have stopped bitching about it several months ago.

    Depends on who I’m agitating to get to be the next President, in my opinion.

    Agitating, eh? I’ll try to keep that in mind when deciding which of your posts are worth responding to. Is Kimmitt actually attempting to make a reasoned point, here, or merely agitating?

    Screw it. I don’t want to work that hard.

    The two are not at all incompatible.
