Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

The revolution will be supervised.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

    Note to OWS protesters. This is how young people should protest if they want to get attention.

    I used to be interested in the goings on at Nut Root until the usual suspects turned it into a whine festival the past couple years over whatever imaginary pony Obama never gave them.

    They lost a lot of credibility with me since then. Now I just don’t care and besides, these people have shown they are completely ineffective when it really counts, at the voting booth!

    If a politican wants to have a short or non-existant career all they gotta do is kiss up to these people. What are their past and present progressive politicans doing these days? Grayson, Feingold, Kucinich, Dean. They are all political cautionary tales now.

    Consider having one tomorrow night for Waterfire. It’s a street-fair type thing. A chance to loiter in fine style.

    Remember, the revolution against the Brits actually started here. Don’t believe all that propaganda from Bahstahn: Rhode Islanders burned the Gaspee June 9, 1772, 18 months before the Boston Tea Party, and they didn’t restrict themselves to symbolically dumping the tea overboard. Celebrate the first blow for liberty at WaterFire tomorrow night! http://gaspee.waterfire.org/

    I would like to have been there, but posting an announcement at 12:39, in the middle of the keynote lunch session, for a meeting at 2:00? I hate to tell you this, but I am not reading BJ in the middle of Liz Warren. Sorry ’bout that.

    Anyway, I’ll be there tomorrow. If you change your clothes, please let us know.
