Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Republicans in disarray!

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Consistently wrong since 2002

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Stand up, dammit!

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The problem with the Kung Fu Monkey is that he does not post enough, so sometimes almost a week can pass before I catch something he has written that I really enjoy.

Like this, for example.

    Hmmm, abortion. The new gateway drug. Where you were using a little drug and drink, having an abortion may cause you to do more afterward.

    I like the five gallon bucket martini idea for Britney, but she may need more than three for the evening.

    Boo! Abortion evil! By the way, vote for me and I will never get a prostitute pregnant… Heck, I won’t even tell my wife about it unless I am caught!

    Sick… Really sick.

    The difference between post partum depression and post abortion depression is that, post partum, the mother is depressed about a live kid; the post abortion depressive feels a bit down about a dead one.
