Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The willow is too close to the house.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

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

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

In after Baud. Damn.

My Dog is Smarter Than Me I

Tonight, I told my dog, Charlotte, that I was wondering why there weren’t more sensible Republicans in the race. She looked at me as though I was stupid. I understood. Smart dog.

    Sensible Republican is an oxymoron.

    (Emphasis on the “moron”)

    That’s a lab for you. They believe that most partisan issues can be resolved with more treats followed by some nice pets. Nature’s liberals is what they are.

    As a professional grammar Nazi, I can say that this is the correct form.

    That would be object pronoun as opposed to subject pronoun? I always put a verb after it and see if it sounds right or not. I am or me am? It’s when you try to learn another language that you wish you’d paid more attention to grammar in school.

    Pro nouns or pro nazis, you’re all a bunch of librul fascists. I did paid attention to grammar in school. I listened to Grampa too, but it weren’t much help cuz he don’t talk right neither.

    Well, you shouldn’t listen to her all the time. Dogs have brains the size of walnuts, and are only good at the simple questions. So while she may be smarter than you, the rest of us are smarter than her.

    OK, sorry, couldn’t resist. It’s a slow morning…

    Hey by the way — preview seems to be missing. There’s just a [.] down there where preview used to be. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Good morning, all! (Passes around coffee.)

    Good grammar is, of course, a dog, i.e., a bitch.
