Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The lights are all blinking red.

    Congratulations, John! I’d wish you many more, but I don’t know whether, in the end, that would be a blessing…or a curse.

    Congratulations on the second anniversary of your site.

    And commiserations on your long-suffering fandom.

    Have you considered switching your devotion to Manchester United?
