Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Let me file that under fuck it.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The lights are all blinking red.

Rebels are fighting at the gates of Gadaffi’s palace, one of Gadaffi’s sons escaped custody, and Bahrain officially recognized the rebel government. Here’s the Guardian and Al-Jazeera live blogs.

    Wait, the Guardian says that John McCain is known in America as a “foreign policy expert.”

    Sorry, it’s too early for that shit to be crossing the pond.

    For my birthday today I would like that scum sucking psychopath Gaddafi to be captured. If he was killed too, oh well. Karma’s a bitch.

    @SiubhanDuinne: You forgot to include his statement..

    There’s a lot of good people in the TNC and there’s some people that maybe I wouldn’t have chosen.

    Maybe he should change residency and move to Libya.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Why is this surprising? He’s on the Sunday talkers every fucking week.

    Apparently, being unable to fly military planes straight makes one an expert on international affairs.

    @JPL:

    I love the all-but-explicit statement that it’s up to “us” to decide what kind of democracy is best for Libya.

    And oh yeah, it took us 100 years after the Civil War to get the kind of country we want. (Nothing about losing it in the last 30 years, of course.) just so wrong on so many levels.

    Happy birthday, Cat Lady.

    @arguingwithsignposts:

    Not surprising, I guess, just depressing. “Even the liberal Grauniad” etc.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Notice the qualifier – he’s known as an expert in America. They didn’t say he’s an expert.

    @Cat Lady: Happy b’day and more more.
