Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

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

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

We’re not going back!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

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

Bad Campaign Slogans

Note to Obama supporters- you don’t want the Bradrocket writing your slogans. So far, all he seems to have come up with is:

“Obama. Less crappy than the alternatives.”

    Asking the obvious: Why would Bradrocket even be in consideration for writing said slogans? Seems to me he has trouble writing a paragraph coherently, let alone a one-liner!

    “Obama. Less crappy than the alternatives.”

    After the last 7 years, that’s the very definition of “Hope”.

    Top 10 rejected Obama slogans:

    10. They think we can. They think we can. They think we can.
    9. Two words: Mark Penn.
    8. Well, we can hope.
    7. Because we need a President who is clean and articulate.
    6. Not your father’s pet goat.
    5. Barack: a great First Lady’s husband.
    4. Taller than Hillary, younger than John, and healthier than Dick.
    3. Imagine the Obama girls saluting their father’s coffin!
    2. Our time is now — while the Governor of Illinois is a Democrat.

    and the number 1 rejected Obama slogan:

    1. Sweet home All Obama!

    …says the Ayn Rand fan.

    Nothing wrong with her prose. She wrote a good deal better than the vast majority of people who get published these days. That being said, I’m more a fan of her characters than her philosophy/writing. For writing, I’m a die hard E.B. White fan.

    She wrote a good deal better than the vast majority of people who get published these days.

    “Vote for Duke Cunningham – He’s a Man with Convictions”

    I still think Obama should use the Theme from Shaft as his campaign song.

    Maybe it’s too early. ”Who’s the Senator with all the chicks? Shaft!“

    “Tired of baby boomer Woodstock/Vietnam angst bullshit? Vote Obama and kiss it all goodbye.”

    From Sadly No:

    “If you believe democracy works, raise your hand. Now, get in the line for the exit visas to Canada. The rest of you, vote Democratic!”

    There’s more.

    “Democrats – for when your biggest hope for government is that they won’t use your tax dollars to violate the Nuremberg laws, the Geneva Conventions, and your own damn Constitution.”

    There’s my mantra for the year in a nutshell. It’s pessimistic and an incredibly compelling reason to vote Democratic. Score.

    the DNC should be printing bumperstickers by the millions saying “Like Bush? Vote McCain!”

    If you’re happy and you know it, vote Barack!

    Actually, if you turn those “W” stickers upside down…

    I wish i’d originated this one:

    Vote Republican.

    Because you can wreck a country in 8 years, but it takes 12 to destroy it.
