Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Let me file that under fuck it.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

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

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Not in the mood to right now and I have some things to do, so just go read SCOTUSblog for the rundown on the 857 decisions today, or go read this 3 page piece on today’s permanent toadie for the prosecution, Nancy Grace.

I will be back later, no doubt pissed about something. Meanwhile, what do you think of the changes we did this weekend?

    I think Nancy Grace longs for the days of Soviet show trials, when the guilt was obvious and conviction guaranteed. What an…enlightening…article.

    Breaking News! Bush Aministration Uses Moderation and Restraint! Negotiates with Terrorists! My Head Hurts! Discuss!

    Actually, I think this is a positive step, as well as a tacit admission that the war on Iraqi insurgents is not part of the War on Terror. Hopefully, by engaging the homegrown “end-the-occupation” types politically, we can isolate the mostly foreign “we-just-want-to-kill-americans” crowd and bring our soldiers home in under 12 years.

    Sorry for hijacking this thread, I just found this interesting.

    Well, thank for sharing your finding. This story came out Friday or Saturday, though. Or began to.

    Cordially…

    Thanks, Rick. The story is dated yesterday. I realized that after I posted it, then crossed my fingers and hoped nobody would call me on it. I actually went outside last night (a rare occurence) so I hope you will forgive my confusion.

    Don’t mess with our 10 commandments, Supremos!

    How do you define “our”?

    Tongue in cheek, since I’m from Texas. “Our” as in belonging to the state of Texas. Also, it is our Senator who introduced federal legislation to restore property rights to private individuals. Great state, great beer. :)

    Bush, Delay, Armey, Gramm, Cornyn…

    Now if you would only keep them at home and not subject the rest of us to them, that would be fine.
