Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

Let there be snark.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

All hail the time of the bunny!

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

The willow is too close to the house.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

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

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

How stupid are these people?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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.
