Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Everybody saw this coming.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

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

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Michael Demmons reports something is going on in Birmingham. Jeff Quinton has more.

*** Update ***

Umm.. By request, I would like to note that this is the Birmingham overseas, not the one in Alabama.

    May I respectfully suggest that you edit your post to let your readers know you are refering to Birmingham England and not Birmingham Alabama?

    Thank you
