Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

    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?
