Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This fight is for everything.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

We will not go back.

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

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

    To summarize the episode, everyone talked in very quiet-but-serious tones with nary a smile in the bunch.

    @Keith P: then they all go to Hawaii, but bad stuff happens when one of them uncovers a tiki doll. It’s an interesting turn of events.

    I tried to quit watching it because I pretty much despise every single character at this point, including the children. Well, I can’t help but admire Gemma a bit. And Bobby would be fun at a tailgate. But everyone else should go die in the nearest fire.

    Anyway, after resolving to give up on the series some time ago, I got sucked back in during a recent bout of insomnia. But I missed this week’s episode. So what happened? I hope someone put that mopey psychopath Juice outta his goddamned misery. Spoilers welcomed!

    @Suffern ACE: Oh, damn, I didn’t realize it was a two-hour ep! In the end, did Phil leave the hotel room and get a massage with Miss Kay, or did he stab someone in the head repeatedly with a fork?

    For some reason, on Wed. the 11th, TCM will be showing 9 – count’ em, 9 – movies involving football back to back.

    Yuppers. Sometimes they stretch it a little too far. There was one day a while back when every film had the word ‘blue’ in the title.

    Didn’t know if Dec 11 might be a major football anniversary or something. Been on this planet for a long, long time, and if I said I’ve watched or heard five minutes of real-life football over that span, would be grossly exaggerating.

    @MikeJ:

    Do you know whether “The Wind Journeys” (the “squeezebox throwdown”) is one of Patton Oswalt’s selections as tonight’s TCM “Guest Programmer”? He was blowing Robert Osborne’s mind earlier this evening while describing the gay subtext of the original “3:10 to Yuma” movie.

    And my mind was blown a few moments ago upon learning that the Belgian/French film “Aaltra” is scheduled to air at 2:00am EST. Because one doesn’t come across pitch-black comedies about middle-aged men in wheelchairs seeking justice for their injuries all that often. A deliciously nasty piece of work. Those of you for whom it’s still December 10 might want to check it out.

    If Oswalt is responsible for all of tonight’s programming from “Kind Hearts and Coronets” to “Road to Bali,” that is one mighty peculiar sensibility.

    @Amir Khalid: Taking lessons from the Republicans I see,

    What China really needs is some sort of left-wing political party committed to ruling on behalf of the workers and peasants. It hasn’t had one of those before, has it?

    @John: As long as it’s over already. The last few episodes should have been hosted by Howie Mandel, shouting “Deal or no deal?!” every ten minutes.

    (Yeah, I’m late to this thread.)
