Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

The lights are all blinking red.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

We will not go back.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

So many bastards, so little time.

Keep It Classy, Tea Party

Just in case you were wondering why the tea party isn’t filled with black members, there are reminders like this. Radio host Andrea Shea King was so bothered about lawmakers who abstained from attending Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech to Congress she had this to say:

King noted that “most of those members who are opting out of attending the speech are members of the Congressional Black Caucus. She argued that the only reason those members of the Congressional Black Caucus had been elected in the first place was because the voters in their “districts are all dumb clucks.”… King said that she wasn’t sure if she was more angry at the “heinous people who occupy the halls of Congress or the dumb clucks that put them there.” “Stupid, stupid people! Our lives are on the line and all they can think of is skin color!” she insisted. “You know, all of us are going to turn black if we end up in a cage on fire!”

She also made a delightful comment that these black lawmakers should be “hanging by a noose.”

Team Blackness also discussed how Americans are turning away from organized religion, the Hillary Clinton email scandal, and why Fifty Shades of Grey can not be used as a defense to rape people (seriously?).

    And just to underscore how classy the Tea Party is, and how much influence they wield, none of the top 3 of the House GOP are attending the Selma commemorations. Because reasons I guess.

    What’s equally disturbing is that we should show more deference to a foreign head of state than to our own President.

    My Facebook feed was full of “I stand with Israel” posts. I refrained from asking, “even when Israel stands against the US?”

    I’m all for free speech and shit, but is it actually legal for a licensed broadcaster to use the publicly owned airwaves to call for the assassination by lynching of members of Congress?

    Our lives are on the line? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Is everyone just a crying baby scared of shadows? Does she go around pissing herself all the time? This country used to be made up of Men and Women. Not mewling babies who need to leave the lights on.

    King sounds like an angry white lady, with ridiculous assertions and simplistic answers to all things spied through the lens of race.
