Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Peak wingnut was a lie.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Republicans in disarray!

All hail the time of the bunny!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

He really is that stupid.

    I’m totally waiting for an Alien facehugger to come crawling out of the top of that thing.

    National Geo did a microscopic insect eggs last month. Some of them looked like space stations.
