Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

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

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

People are weird.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Fight them, without becoming them!

It’s 2016 And It’s All Still Awful

Good to see that even though we’ve been off air, the horrible things keep coming. Bill Cosby has finally been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2004. Camille Cosby is being forced to testify in the defamation suit:

U.S. Judge Magistrate David Hennessey in Springfield, Massachusetts, said Camille Cosby failed to prove that she and her husband were protected by the state’s marital disqualification law. He also rejected claims that the value of the testimony would be outweighed by the “undue burden” the deposition would cause.

So that’s one down, 5o-some more to go.

Team Blackness also discussed #OregonUnderAttack and the Tamir Rice verdict.

    No fan of Cosby in all this, but I don’t understand how the time honored “spouse can’t be forced to testify against you” can be dismissed out of hand by the judge. How is that possible?

    When “The Cosby Show”was on the 80s I thought “We finally have State Television, with Reagan’s official model family posed for us to emulate. Not a fan.
