Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Stand up, dammit!

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

    I don’t see why you have to call him a Man-Whore. I think that was taken totally out of context. He’s a European Male Escort Bad Actor. There is a fundamental difference.

    I thought he was talking about Jimmy Jeff Gannon at first.

    My friend once had a book of Roger Eberts movies reviews.

    Thios is a man who gave “Dances with Wolves” a full rating for greatness, but slammed “Dead Poets Society” because it didn’t “go into more depth about the actual Poets”. Sure, hes going to get a review right once in a while, but any intelligent man would be most served by doing the opposite of what Ebert suggests – 90% of the time you’ll end up seeing a great movie.
