Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Be a wild strawberry.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

This blog will pay for itself.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

    If it will stop him from queering comment threads at OBWI I’m all for it.

    I enjoy Gary’s writing, but as of late he’s been getting tedious.

    Thanks muchly, John.

    “I enjoy Gary’s writing, but as of late he’s been getting tedious.”

    Only of late?

    But, heck, as I wrote in my post, I’d be the first to admit that sometimes my blog comments are muddled, wrongfooted, unclear, confused, rambly, irritating, annoying, condescending, insulting, aggravating, superior, cranky, or outright dickheaded. And that’s my reaction sometimes.

    Though I’m lucky if I can manage all those at once.

    Dreggas – We only support our troops who sign loyalty oaths to the Decider and the MalkinWing. They also need to think KayLo at NRO is HOT.
    On a serious note, it’s a sad story. Maybe they’ll shoot her like Eddie Slovik.

    Dreggas – that’s one apalling story. Thanks for the link.

    I can’t imagine being in the military, much less losing my mind while there. It appears our societal stigmatization of mental illness extends fully into our armed services.

    Tragic.

    If you believe Idiocracy we’re in danger of the opposite, in fact.
