Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Come on, man.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

Republicans in disarray!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

A Humorous Tale

Scott Chaffin is having trouble with hotel doors, something that irritates me to no end.

Quick humorous anecdote, with the names concealed to protect the stupid.

I once heard a story about a person who went to a friend’s wedding and had a couple drinks at the reception. The person then retired to his room without incident. This person is blind as a bat without glasses or contact lenses. In the middle of the night, he may have gotten out of bed to use the facilities. Without bothering to put on his glasses, he then walked briskly to the bathroom in only his boxer shorts. Unfortunately, the drink may have impaired his judgement, and he mistook the bathroom door for the room door, and much to his chagrin found himself locked outside his room in only his boxer shorts at 3 am in the morning in a $200 a night hotel.

Just a story I heard.

    This person wouldn’t happen to be a teacher, would he? Ex-Army? Lives in West Virginny, perhaps? ;)

    At least he could be grateful for the boxer shorts–hotel hallways can be a tad drafty.

    Actually, I did the same thing at the Hotel Hudson in NYC – sans underware. The best part was when, after spending ten minutes looking for a phone, a large man in a suit came out of the elevator. Pearing around a corner I asked;

    “Are you with the hotel?”

    “Yes I am”

    “I seem to have locked myself out of my room”

    “We were hoping it was something like that… We’ve been watching you on the security cameras for some time now.”

    Ha!
