Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Books are my comfort food!

Fight them, without becoming them!

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

In case you had the sense not to watch last night’s debate, you can read my Chirpstory of the live-tweeting snarkathon on my blog.

(I can’t post the script here because FYWP that’s why.)

    @Violet: “What’s a “Chirpstory”?”

    A way of collecting and organizing a series of tweets.

    @seanindc:

    Same as the over/under on the number of ABL posts you make douchey comments on…I suppose.
