Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“They all knew.”

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

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

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

    She’s going to be a hurting looking older woman. Get her now while it’s worth it…

    I’m not seeing it, sorry. That’s a spectacularly good picture of Inge in the white suit, but from any other angle she’s not all that great.

    Put whiteface on that last one and she’s the Joker, without any facial latex.

    She’s not bad, but something seems a little off.

    I would have to go with Amanda Beard as the #1 reason.

    She looks like the love child of Farrah Fawcett and a gremlin.

    She does have the classic look to her, I can see why John picked her as #1, I’d personally be all up with those U.S. volleyball chicks though, my hometown Stockton, CA has one of the best Volleyball programs in the country UOP, now only if I could get a date with one of those broads.

    I think the Dutch and Brazilian fieldhockey teams had more beauties per event.

    Olympic Eye-Candy

    Since several people seem to be doing this, here is my contribution to Olympic eye-candy. Notice how I do not discriminate against my female readers… From the left: Amanda Beard, Michael Phelps, Jenny Thompson and Natalie Coughlin. America the (very)…
