Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Not all heroes wear capes.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

How stupid are these people?

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans in disarray!

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Stand up, dammit!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

    a couple of basic questions: When is the Dem primary?

    Can EW use money donated in the primary in a general campaign?

    I’d be more inclined if you changed your nym to “The Dougerhead”.
    I’ve been enjoying things more lately when I add “The” to the front end.

    Thanks for the reminder about donating to EW. I’ve been putting off any donations as I have to get approval through my employer’s compliance department, but it’s time to figure out the process. Nothing like a little rude comment to get me motivated.

    I can’t identify the title reference.

    When I run it through my database it just keeps turning up the same two George Thorogood lyrics:

    Gonna have a drink man, I’m gonna get gassed.

    Come on baby, have a taste with me.

    and those ain’t it. :(

    I got the title reference. I guess you have to be of an age that you were heavily into pop-radio music around 1986.
