Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Alexa, change the president.”

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

This really is a full service blog.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Giving up is unforgivable.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

    Whoever wrote Darrell deserves at least an A-. Paul L., no better than a B-, I’d say.

    I think this semester Darrell was actually two students, and one was definitely better than the other. Or maybe he’s always been two personalities. Maybe we should call them Ditsy Darrell and Demented Darrell if they evah come back.

    Also, I think ppGaz has been selling the answers to various spoofers, so disciplinary action may be required.

    Two annoying requests I’ve received in the last days of this semester:

    “The final project is due at the exact time that the final exam ends. Could we have a three hour extension, to account for this lost time?” (For a project assigned six weeks ago. No.)

    “For various important reasons I’d like to get my final grade as soon as possible. Could I please take the final exam a week early, and and ask you also to grade it and my project a week early?” (Also no.)

    It certainly seemed like it. Especially the way he’d go from calling you a traitorous cockroach subhuman in one thread to hail-fellow-well-metting you in the next one. It really made no sense, unless he was written by committee or was subject to violent mood swings/personality disorders.

    Wait; you’re putting together final grades in May?

    Damn. Wish I’d gone to your college. We were still taking finals in June.

    It’s West Virginia. Spring is prime meth-producing time. Every day longer in school is lost profit and fewer lost teeth.

    That’s a pretty damn plausible explanation for Darrell’s absence, anyway.

    Why does anybody care about Darrell? Right now, he/she/it/they is/are not posting — is Darrell the BJCC equivalent of Banquo’s ghost?

    Punchy, as a devout Pastafarian and sometime pirate, I take great offense that my religion makes you laugh.

    However, since I have every Friday off (religious holiday), I find I can’t hold a grudge.

    May his noodly appendage touch you.

    Lefties handle losing a election in their own civilized way.

    I guess that liberal “stay out of my bedroom” talking point does not apply when you have more than 2 children per couple.
