Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

We still have time to mess this up!

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Third time is the charm. Twitter is working, hoping this does it for faceboook.

Welcome to 2009, and I think we have finally set it up so that this website autopublishes to our facebook page and twitter.

*** Update ****

Grumble. Twitter works, FB does not. Working on it.

    @Prescott Cactus: I believe that would be ridiculous. I’m assuming the BJ twit stream (if there is one) is just updated with a link every time a front pager creates a new post?

    I was watching CNN & the anchor asked Trump spokeswoman to explain her racist tweets. Her answer was basically the media is biased for even asking her about these tweets, and at the time she was fighting with “liberal trolls”. The CNN dude asked her “this was in retaliation to some argument,” and then he thanked her and concluded the segment. I kid you not.

    FB does not. Working on it.

    Why? FB is so 2013. Get with the new hip social media platform, whatever the heck that is this week.

    (Also, FB’s policies on personal information and privacy are horrible.)

    @Mike J: Peach is dead already?

    It was funny watching the youngsters on Twitter when Peach was introduced. Process often went something like this:

    1. “I just signed up on Peach”…
    2. …”Can any of you guys tell me how things work here?”…
    3. …”Does anyone know what exactly this app does?”

    When I bring up balloon-juice.com my browser (Opera) complains: “Security warning. Information from this secure page will be submitted to a page that is not secure on c.brightcove.com. Submitting sensitive information is strongly discouraged.”

    Also, an occasional dialog box pops up complaining about a server’s certificate not matching its hostname: static.scanscout.com.

    Don’t know what these mean, but it doesn’t sound safe and warm.

    Also, can things be fixed so my browser’s BACK button works again? Sometimes I forget to bring a link up in a new tab, and then I’m screwed. Thanks!

    In Safari 9.0.3, the link to go to the next page just takes you to the front page. Oddly, when you search by category, the link to go to the next page works.

    For the past couple of days, I have been getting commercials that start and stop randomly and LOUD. Is there any way to get this to shut up? It seems to be on a loop. The commercial is in the right column and is above recent comments.
