Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

T R E 4 5 O N

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

    Elon, buddy – we need to have a talk about these podcast links. First it was one or two, but they’ve been increasing, a lot. What was, it seems, a minor irritation in a social milieu best suited to print, now has expanded to obsession.

    Time to admit, in looking at the underwhelming response, this may be a problem that needs addressing…

    Ever try to get Nutella out of the jar from in the ridged or square parts? THAT is a first world problem…

    Isn’t “this week This Week in Blackness” redundant?

    @Botsplainer: Amen brother. A suggestion was made to put the listing BELOW the fold.. If he must post here that’s a good idea.
