Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

So many bastards, so little time.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Consistently wrong since 2002

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

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

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

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

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Bark louder, little dog.

Sounds Familiar

Fester on the topic of societies coping with PTSD-like trauma:

The end result was a quicker willingness to turn to ineffective violence to accomplish immediate goals.

Now it all makes sense. The GOP and Joe Lieberman don’t need prison, they need therapy.

    Who was it that first quipped that if the right wing ever got therapy it would cease to exist?

    What they need is a prison that gives therapy.

    Well, nice idea, if they hadn’t spent the last 30 years screaming that there is no such thing as rehabilitation.

    Gore handled it really well after the 2000 election. But he should have kept the beard.

    Just a little fantasy of mine. Agrarian re-education for them all.
