Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

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

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

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

Sometimes we get the most awesome emails:

I feel like having grits with hot sauce. Did a little ‘xploring, and our Susie appears to be a one woman Daily Show/Onion:

This is how you get my attention, folks who want to promote themselves. Being cute doesn’t hurt, either. The pearl necklace and red power suit just really make it happen, spoof wise.

    Dude, 3am? Insomnia or sleep apnia?

    I got the latter. I would kill for insomnia right now.

    @AA+ Bonds: Insomnia sucks, although I’m not sure having a shooting pain in your toe every time you start to fall asleep “insomnia”.

    Susie’s cool, but don’t expect us all to start sending in video. Too many filthy mouths and bad attitudes.

    She is cute as a button, and her Texas twang is pretty authentic sounding. Her act would be a little better with some tighter writing, but she works around the lack of cleverness by being a sweet little thang, mostly.

    Is that her real hair do or is it a wig? I can’t decide, but I’m leaning towards wig.

    I wonder what cities she’s reporting out of, because finding people in Philadelphia, who aren’t pro-Republican is easy.

    Finding people in the rural South, who aren’t pro-Republican would be much harder or rural Pennsylvania, which is basically the same thing without the mild winters.

    I’m also a fan of Juice Media the Rap News.

    @Arclite: I think Tunch does the attracting for him, gravitationally and otherwise.

    Does anyone have stock tips on shovel manufacturers? The Republicans have to be needing new ones after last week’s frenzied digging.

    Well, give her a call, John.

    Or send some flowers with a witty note and then call. Then get the kitchen ready.

    [opens hands briefly] It’s the least a gentleman would do. Capito?

    That was fantastic! I must go and look for more of her work – her pomo pep really helped me wake up this morning, I’m feeling very muzzy since I was woken by two annoyed cats whose dry food ran out last night, and who were sitting on my bedroom shelf pushing things off it until I woke up enough to feed them their breakfasts…
