Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Bark louder, little dog.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

In my day, never was longer.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

How stupid are these people?

    At last. A little recognition for the City on a Mound (probably can’t tell when flying over :)) I’m a lurker and occasional giver of brilliant, insightful and thought-provoking commentary* [starting sometime around the Fountain Hills, AZ Garbage Contract Wars (ca. 2 aught and 10)]. I would be open to being invited.

    *I have taught my dog to bark this at me.

    “BC in Illinois” actually lives in St Louis County (since the Obama administration).
    I would be interested — and available anytime after 7:30pm.

    So what is it about Wed. nights in St. Louis? I too am already committed to another activity next Wed. Catch you next time you are in town Steve in the ATL. In the meantime, while I am not a particularly great people organizer if one of the other St Louis folks wants to take on that mantle I will make every effort to be present at whatever time & place winds up getting scheduled.

    @Steve in the ATL: in your whole life? I see you posting from hither and yon and figure that you travel a lot for bidness, so you may get back here someday.

    In the meantime, when Quinerly returns, maybe we will do a meet up in the greater St Louis area.
