Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

đŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockin’ đŸŽ”

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

I am having issues with the comments on this site. Does anyone know what the code would be to insert buttons so people can use bold, italics, blockquotes, and how to embed url’s? If so, please comment here. I am, as always, code stupid.

    Firefox users can plug-in BBCode which does auto-HTML with a right mouse click.

    Uh-oh, BBCode might use brackets instead of carats. If – [i]this[/i] – isn’t in italics then the plugin won’t work.

    Last post, I promise. With some tinkering I’ve figured out that BBCode works, but you have to make sure to click through the XHTML link.

    Color, strikethrough etc.

    The guy who did the BBCode also did a special for DKOS.

    I love this extention. He’s got XTML and XHTML and you can do your own custom code all from a right click

    Here is the DKOS
    extention page
    .

    I don’t know of ant blogs that have buttons to create tags

    You should also get a favicon, the little symbol in the address line and bookmark/favorites column. Look in the address line for the DKOS extention link, their favicon is an orange square with ap. It makes you webite easy to pick out of bookmarks.

    Perhaps a balloon.

    Just a little note on your comment warning up at the top — refreshing the comment window is probably responsible for a lot of double posts, because some browsers re-send the comment data.

    I thought I would add some information about the BBCode. BBCode it self uses brackets which I don’t think you are set up for, but it also has the XHML tags as well which work almost everywhere.

    You must be using firefox as your browsers to add the BBCode extention.

    Firefox is a browser like Internet Explorer. Firefox is a modular system, you can add features that you like to the basic browser. BBCode is one such feature you can add, the add ons are called extentions.

    The other great feature to add on to Firefox is the tabbed browsing extention. Basically you just need one window open, at the top of that window you have “Tabs” which are as many other windows as you want. It’s a much faster way to cruise.

    If you’re not using firefox you should it’s more secure and much faster and easier to use as compared to IE. It literally takes two minutes to download and install Firefox and all your favorites/bookmarks come with you. You will still have IE if you need it.

    I’m putting the links to the BBCode here so you can copy and paste to a window and see the screen shots, much easier to look at those outside of this comment box.

    As an aside, can anyone tell me which HTML(?) tags are allowed in this comment section?

    italic, blockquote, and Href/link work

    test (Italics)

    test (Blockquote)

    test (Link/Href)

    bold, font size, underline, strike and img src do not

    The link is the springhouse at our farm.

    I can get italics to work, but that’s all.

    What am I doing wrong?

    The blockquote tags are used like this.

    <blockquote>quote goes here </blockquote>

    Use href to provide a link with associated text. The parentheses are required.

    <a href=”your link/http address goes here”>associated text here </a>

    Link example, the link is to an adorable picture of my daughter.

    assoicated text

    I highly recommend using Firefox and the BBCode extention I referred to above. I can make these tags by highlighting the text then right click and the BBCode does the rest.
