Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

He really is that stupid.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

It’s got to be accepted

An Illinois State Senator quotes Wu-Tang on the Senate floor. I agree with NYMag that sometimes it’s just best to sit back and enjoy these things without questioning them too much.

    Reviving an issue that had been dead, just so they can scream n*****s as loud as they can in dogwhistle. Pathetic.

    In response, State Senator RZA encouraged everyone to diversify their bonds.

    @Calipygian: I love the Chapelle show where he was a financial adviser.

    ETA: I also loved when we Asians got Wu Tang Clan in the racial draft.

    I can’t decide whether “Thank you for sharing” was an appropriate response – it’s disrespectful, usually, but then the senator had just basically pulled a prank on the chamber, so maybe it was the right response.
