Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

We will not go back.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

    A version of "they are coming to your town" happened in Hardy County, WV. Not county wide, but on the east side in the Lost River Valley. It became a "destination." Many locals are not yet comfortable with the number of gay people now living in and visiting the area – but the food at the local restaurant a couple took over has never been better. And so tasteful. :-)

    The haters will have more and more trouble getting traction with their agenda. In the meantime, the homosexual agenda will march on:

    1. Get up at 6
    2. Drink 2 cups of coffee
    3. Get stuck in traffic on way to work
    etc.

    heh.

    You’ve proved the point being made by AFA. If you lived in a small town you wouldn’t get stuck in traffic which would result in you having more free time to ruin my marriage and turn my kids gay …

    On a more serious note, what the hell are these people afraid of? Well maintained homes?

    @The Grand Panjandrum:

    Loss of status.

    _Gone with the Wind_ is an interesting book, if only because of one passage. In that passage, Mitchell observes that in the post-Civil War South, the lowest status white trash had higher status than the highest status black professional, and that he or she was well-aware of that fact. Just by virtue of being white, a total loser had someone to look down on.

    Having someone that you’re better than, just because, is a nice thing — but the society as a whole has to play along if you’re to keep that unearned status. The society has stopped playing along quite as willingly in the case of women or beige folks, so the losers are looking for someone else that they can get away with stigmatizing.

    In the words of Coco Chanel, Ghey is the new Black.

    Re: Homosexual Agenda

    Believe it or not, Justice Scalia actually nailed it in his dissent in Lawrence v. Texas.

    . . . the so-called homosexual agenda, by which I mean the agenda promoted by some homosexual activists directed at eliminating the moral opprobrium that has traditionally attached to homosexual conduct.

    Pretty accurate, if you ask me. Of course, Scalia sees this as a bad thing.

    Damn, the homosexual agenda is pretty much the same as my agenda (except for the gym part.) Wait, does that mean I’m gay?

    lowest status white trash had higher status than the highest status black professional

    Incidentally, there are still people who feel that way, as evidenced by the fact that before the election I heard someone who I can heartily attest to as being white trash tell me that they’d "never vote for a ni**er."

    Granted, I’m hetero and female, but I did watch most of the episodes of Will and Grace, and based on that, I’m pretty sure that the gym is the most essential part of the gay agenda. That and style – style is important too.

    See, the problem is the daily "gym" part of your routine. The heartland is sick and tired of their womenfolk seeing a gay man on the street and exclaiming: "Look at that bod!" Makes those paunchy, pasty straight guys feel inadequate.

    As I have stated before on this blog.

    I am white female, catholic.

    I also have a son who is gay.

    I stand by my son…..and my city, state, country, faith be damned.

    HE is my son.

    I am proud to support and love him. I accept his choice, like I accept my other children’s heterosexual choices. To me there is no difference.

    He is a productive citizen of this country. He works, he owns a home. He pays his bills on time. He also has a wonderful partner, that I have come to love and adore as my own.

    My son and his partner will be home for Christmas. We are planning on a "unity" celebration, as they have taken their relationship to that level. One day, I hope in MY lifetime, I can sit and watch my son, legally marry the person who is his best friend, lover, and partner for life.

    If you all don’t mind, I would love to share those pictures of our family here on this blog, after Christmas…because to our family, this is a blessing.

    Ok, gotta go wipe the tears away and get back to work…

    Here’s the homo agenda that used to be my life back when I was younger and singler:

    The Homosexual Agenda

    8:00 a.m. Wake up. Wonder where you are.

    8:01 a.m. Realize you are lying on 100 percent cotton sheets of at least a 300 count, so don’t panic; you’re not slumming.

    8:02 a.m. Realize you are actually in your own bed for a change. Wake stranger next to you and tell them you are late for work so won’t be able to cook breakfast for them. Mutter "sorry" as you help him look for his far-flung underwear. You find out that you tore his boxers while ripping them off him last night, so you "loan" him a pair of boxer-briefs, but not the new ones because you never intend to see him again.

    8:05 a.m. Tell the stranger, whose name eludes you, "It was fun. I’ll give you a call," as you usher him out the door, avoiding his egregious morning-breath.

    8:06 a.m. Crumple and dispose of the piece of paper with his telephone number on it when you get to the kitchen.

    8:07 a.m. Make a high protein breakfast while watching the Today show. Wonder if the stories you’ve heard about Matt Lauer are true. Decide they must be.

    3. Get stuck in traffic on way to work
    4. Work

    6. Work
    7. Gym
    8. Dinner
    9. TV
    10. Bed
    11. Get up at 6

    My Heterosexual agenda:

    1. Get up at 7
    2. Drink 3 cups of coffee
    3. Get stuck in traffic on way to work
    4. Work
    5. Lunch
    6. Work
    7. Gym
    8. Dinner
    9. TV
    10. Bed
    11. Get up at 7

    I am convinced the extra hour of sleep and the extra cup of coffee are what have kept me ghey-free and keenly interested in sex with my wife.

    If you don’t have the time to sleep in late, then you gotta make the time. It’s a choice, man.

    Yes, goddammit. I’d never have Gym on my personal hetero agenda if it wasn’t for them homos makin’ me do it by causing my wife to make snide comments on my beer gut. Which causes marital discord as it reduces her appreciation of my ‘keenly interested in sex with my wife’.

    It’s all of a piece and all comes back to the same thing: Damn gheys, trying to ruin yet another hetero marriage.

    So apparently (point 3 notwithstanding as I live close enough to work to walk) I am gay. Such a diobalical agenda, it caught me unawares and now, it seems, its too late. That ghey just creeped up and got me when I wasnt looking.

    That would probably explain a lot of things to my mom who sees a still single almost 40 year old male with some apparently…ummmm….gay tendencies. I am apparently overly neat and clean and take too good of care of may hair, eyebrows and skin – I didnt realize these were warning signs.

    Yet I am conflicted – I still really enjoy doing the two backed beast with the ladies and find the same with guys to be ick (not that there is anything wrong with that). So am I just projecting? Am I in denial? I need to know. Help.
