Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A consequence of cucumbers

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

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

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Fight them, without becoming them!

    Well, NBC News is reporting a bomb scare in Birmingham, complete with evacuations, and supported with footage.

    So, I’m confused. And I don’t even know what color the Terror Threat Level is at the moment. Yellow? Chartreuse? Mauve?

    I just think it’s fascinating how fast we can receive information of a developing news event using new technologies such at technorati and flickr. I had pictures and firsthand accounts posted on my site before the BBC even had a full report.
