Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Second rate reporter says what?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    Pretty logical agreement. The meandering about gay men as a group being less faithful is a sidetrip not necessary. We’re not talking about group rights here, we’re talking about individual rights. If hetero men could screw at will without the risk of impregnating a woman, you would no doubt get similar percentages for promiscuity. The social stigma of creating children out of wedlock has no similar braking system in the male gay community.

    If one could wave a magic wand, it would be nice to remove all government entities from having anything to do with marriage, that government could only record and authorize civil unions, and that marriages were left to whatever religious or non-religious institutions that couples chose and which the institutions allowed.

    Not just nice. That would be the proper way for the law to be. The government has no business having anything to do with marriage, other than to record marriage as one form of civil union.
