Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

So many bastards, so little time.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Seriously, Don Lemon. Please Stop Talking.

Don Lemon has stepped in it yet again. This time he has equated disciplining children with disciplining his dog: “You have to teach who’s in control. It doesn’t matter whether it’s fear or what have you, I’m saying this, because it stops you from doing it,” he added. And then he threw in some slavery mentions for good measure.

Please, CNN. Please stop letting this man have a platform. We’d suggest a muzzle, but we realize that people and animals aren’t the same.

Team Blackness also discussed how much a woman’s virginity is worth, the charitable natures of millenials, and Miss America versus conservatives.

    Jesus, what’s that first rule of what to do upon discovering you’re in a giant hole, armed only with a shovel?

    Is he angling for a Fox gig? Because that’s the only way I see him climbing out.

    Isn’t this a double post from the middle of last week?
