Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

In after Baud. Damn.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

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

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

We still have time to mess this up!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

    That post was pretty thin on anything worth linking to. Well-written, maybe, but somewhat content-free, and even insight-free.

    Sometimes bombing people is a bad idea. For the times when it’s not, drones are the best way to get it done.

    And right on cue, a B&H ad for remote flying camera platforms atop comments.

    Yay, the future today.

    @trollhattan: I looked at a cheap one in Fry’s. The box touted its quick charge time. Ten minutes of flight on a three hour charge. I was considering covering race nights with one, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ten minute sailboat race, and we do three or four.

    How ironic would it be for Obama to live out his retirement in fear of the ever increasing threat of a drone delivering retribution to him and his entourage.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: leave it to a “pacifist” emoprog/firebagger to fantasize of Obama’s murder.

    thankfully Obama derangement syndrome is covered under ACA

    you’re sick and need help. Hopefully you’ll seek it before the Secret Service catches up with you.

    @David Koch:

    No fantasy, no threat, just an observation that a slavering, blood-thirsty coward might live to regret his casual homicides as technology brings his own weapon of choice into the hands of people as demented as he is.

    @FromTheBackOfTheRoom: Jesus–just call him the N-word and be done with it.

    And I think you’re referring to George W. Bush, but what do I know…

    There’s nothing to justify this comment. It’s pitiful, actually.
