Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The revolution will be supervised.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

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

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Ben Carson Thinks Prison Can Turn You Gay

Oh, Ben Carson. Such a brilliant mind and accomplished neurosurgeon and you think homosexuality is a choice because some people get raped in prison? That’s some special deductive reasoning there.

Team Blackness also discussed NYC giving students off for Muslim holidays, how a glass of red wine is the equivalent of a workout, and how California’s 3-strike prison reform is working.

    For all his education the man is an idiot.

    To my understanding sex in prison is about hierarchy, power, and just getting off. Those men that are having sex with men (and who weren’t gay when they went in) will go right back to screwing women once they are out. Which means they weren’t gay they were just having sex with whoever was available and in a men’s prison it was other men.

    What always amazes me about homophobes is that their confidence in their own sexuality seems to be seriously lacking. Years ago, circa The Road Warrior, a gay male friend and I, a straight woman, said that if circumstances were such that if we had both gotten burned out on men, if Mel Gibson* walked in the room, we’d be right back to guys. For most people, it’s just not that flexible a preference.

    Caveats apply. We did not know at that time that Gibson was a nutcase bigot, and for some people, it’s whichever way the wind blows.

    I like Dan Savage’s response – if being gay is a choice, then suck my dick.

    It is so sad to see what has become of this man who was a hero to most black kids when I was growing up. What is that saying, again? Oh yeah, never meet you heroes…
