Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

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

How stupid are these people?

    Cole would pick a day that I had to spend in a milestore post mortem as the day balloon juice was down. That means I can’t even feel a moral uplift due to not cpending any time here!
