Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

He really is that stupid.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

    $20 billion lawsuit filed against Verizon. That’s $30 billion worth of lawsuits against Verizon so far (a $10 billion lawsuit was filed in Jersey too). Anyone think that President Bush can help bankrupt the telecoms?

    Whoops. The Jersey lawsuit is only $5 billion.

    So only $25 billion so far. From two states.

    Is this a suitable time to mention the water of life, _Dune_, and sententious prose? I was thinking of Snow-job’s “depress conference” on Friday…
