Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

We still have time to mess this up!

“Alexa, change the president.”

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Republicans in disarray!

No one could have predicted…

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Trouble in the Streets of Tulsa

Speaking of Oklahoma, a Toboggesque classic from the Wonkette dominatrix, who happens to be one of the funnest people I met at the DNC in Charlotte. She’s a lot like me- demented and sad, but social. She’s also more demanding and hornier, but those are perks in my eyes.

    That was a really, really long post. So forgive me but was the upshot, Oklahoma is secretly liberal, just no one knows it, which again forgive me, but it is the kind of wishful thinking I often hear, not upheld come election day.

    Actually I was kinda wondering if Cole and Wonkette might…. you know…. we could even write fan-fiction about it.

    My stepson, his daughter and his long time girlfriend (NO – the daughter is NOT his girlfriend ;) ) are moving the hell out of Oklahoma after living down there for the last three years. His stories about some of the people he’s encountered and the twisters he’s lived through have made me shudder in horror and wish that he’d get out of there. Finally he’s getting wise and packing up his stuff and heading up north to Montana to go live with his sister around Flathead Lake until he can get transferred to the local Wal-Mart (I wish he’d get out of there, too, but baby steps….) and get his own place. I thank God my granddaughter won’t have to go through high school in Oklahoma. She’s a smart girl who I don’t want to see be dumbed down by a bunch of conservative religious yahoos running the local school system. I think she is saved from believing that Jesus rode a dinosaur.

    @Culture of Truth: Not really. They might vote for marijuana because rednecks like to get high, but that’s not going to help Democrats get elected because half the democrats would be republicans in any sane state, and the other half are various nutcases like one might imagine a marginalized Democratic party in a state like OK to have running. And god bless people like her mother who keep smiling through it all but really, it’s pretty fucking hopeless.

    Fan fiction exists that has Hogwarts Castle getting impregnated by a tentacled monster from the nearby lake.

    ALL I’M SAYING IS…

    well, weirder fan fiction has been written.

    …

    Please don’t ask how I’m aware of this.

    Continue please John on telling us how Wonkette is kind of horny. I’m particularly interested in that part.

    @Culture of Truth: It was a sad post, there were some good things and some good people … I like the candidate for Lt Gov, Cathy Cummings ( youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=K8uABE-PnWs ), but they are hanging on.

    ” Nobody is hornier than Cole. It’s not possible.”

    What may be interesting is the story of how Cole came to know that the Wonkette dominatrix is more demanding and hornier.
    Dud I miss that post?
