Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let there be snark.

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

Trump should be leading, not lying.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

The revolution will be supervised.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

    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.
