Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

    Who’s gone to WordPress? Just a few I’ve noticed.

    Vinny, with a new design.
    Tepper, with all the damn designs.
