Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

đŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockin’ đŸŽ”

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

    Evangelist Franklin Graham announced Tuesday he is leaving the Republican Party over the GOP-led spending bill passed last week, calling it “wasteful” and likening funding of Planned Parenthood to Nazi concentration camps.

    And people say socialcons don’t like Trump. Change is coming.

    All he’s doing is setting up a fund-raising tour to fleece the rubes – again.

    Which is exactly why he needs to die in a fire.

    Great. I hope he encourages all his followers to refuse to vote in the upcoming election to prove to the Republicans how much he hates them.

    ETA: Besides, we all know Graham is just a cracker.

    It would be funnier if she just scowled at him, and he
 umm
 folded? backed off?

    Yes, much better. Running away, like a scared beauty queen runner-up.

    I’ll work on that. (not really, as my skill set isn’t close). Not sure if I even have a skill set anymore. . .

    Franklin Graham is just dropping the last veil of the dance of the socialcons revealing their values, heart, soul and essence in all its glory. Very revealing choice of illustrated thread to post under by srv to rejoice in who they’re kissing up to.

    I am enjoying the “He’ll No!” response that Donald’s demand for an apology got from Hillary’s spokesman. She is showing more spine that his Republican opponents. She diminishes him, and the rest of the field, by playing it right back at him.

    It is like a typical Obama situation where you refuse to play the game and the GOP is stuck going around in circles, looking ridiculous, outmanoeuvred on a battlefield of their ow choosing.

    @xenos: Yeah. Bernie can beat Trump nicely, with a sort of ‘I hear where you’re coming from but we have to rebel against the Establishment in constructive ways’ thing.

    Hillary can stomp Trump in political-dynastic fashion, refuse to take his bullshit, antagonize him, and humiliate him, leaving him and all his supporters in a seething, impotent, heavily armed rage. Since she can tack and is tacking to the left of Sanders on gun control, she can then take steps to try and take their guns, as promised.

    I have to admit I’d enjoy that spectacle. I’m actively working for the topmost option and to not ever have to take part in the real football-rivalry style stomping—I’d rather suggest all the old answers got swept away and it was time to start work on rebuilding—but the spectacle of Hillary stomping Trump would be good for a lot of schadenfreude. My sympathies would not be with Trump, put it that way. I just think there’d be an ugly backlash, and then ISIS wouldn’t be remotely the biggest terrorist challenge we were stuck with.

    Way too large, Cole, way too large! As I have posted before, I bet the Donald is hung like a hamster. That would explain a lot of his bravado and acting out…

    For my own part I am sympathetic, not just to my penis’ feelings but to those of penises (penae?) everywhere . . . and the color is all wrong, it should be orange, not shocking pink!

    What a hoot! I agree with others that the color is wrong and its way way too large…

    Hillary just has to laugh and laugh at him…. he will be incredulous and seething but his followers will have to see his real powerlessness — that all that orange face and sputtering rage are about weakness, flaccidity — not power. He can’t give them anything. He has nothing to give.
