Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Storming Pretty Bad Here

No more posting for tonight possibly, as it appears we are having the mother of all thunderstorms. That red stuff in this animated radar– that is no good.

I just love turning everything off and sitting in the dark for five hours. Fabulous.

Time to unplug the electrical appliances.

    If you play a musical instrument, practicing technique in the dark is an instructive experience.

    Pardon me, rilkefan, but at our house we have better use for a blackout and it doesn’t involve musical instruments. Well, not exactly.

    We crap bigger storms than that here in DFW. There isn’t any red parts in the middle of that storm. :)

    Seriously, hope you make it through ok. Spend some quality time with your kitty, and try to connect to your inner essence. Hommmmmm.

    I dunno Stormy, I think the proper mantra for meditation during electrical storms would be an “Oooooohm”!

    I ‘charge’ that you have just made the worst pun ever. ‘Shockingly’ bad. ‘Currently,’ the hairs on my necks are standing up.

    Just think, if you’d used a lot of “Flash” to build this site…it might even be worse. Maybe you’d even be able to “charge” due to all the “buzz” it would generate…

    Boy, the coffee is ‘jolting ‘me awake this morning. I dare say, it’s ‘electric’.

    Geez, it was just ONE little pun – I never expected so much static…

    Are you trying to say that you’re a bit wired this morning Stormy?

    I’m so wired it ‘hertz’!

    And I thought you came here for the grounded debate. Seems this site has instead turned into a lightning rod for puns.

    Yes, John, your site is a transformer in grounded debate. I come here to get amped up for the day.
