Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

Let there be snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

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

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

News4 Jacksonville has the details!

An anonymous call to the St. Augustine police Saturday morning led to the arrest of two people on drug possession.

Police say they responded to a parking lot on South Dixie Highway and found three people sitting in a car. The people in the car consented to a search and police say they found drug paraphernalia and a substance that field tested positive for crystal meth.

Crystal Methvin and Douglas Nickerson were arrested on drug possession charges.

Yes you read that right. Crystal Methvin has been arrested for possession of crystal meth. Apparently Barri Weiss was right. Who would’ve guessed? (Narrator: no one!)

And as a bonus we bring you a Floriduh! Man who went were no man should’ve gone (before or after).

Florida man caught masturbating on bus stop bench tells cops he's "James Tiberius Kirk" because Florida: https://t.co/QXM5dRg1f1 pic.twitter.com/LIZAW2J3FH

WFLA TV Channel 8 beams us the details:

Police say a man caught masturbating at a Clearwater bus stop told them he was Captain Kirk.

Clearwater police were called to a bus stop on Gulf to Bay Boulevard around 11:20 a.m. Monday for a report of a lewd and lascivious act.

Responding officers say they found a man sitting on a bench touching himself under his shorts. In an arrest report, police noted it was “obvious” the man was masturbating.

When officers asked what he was doing, the man told them, “I’m scratching myself.”

After the man was arrested for disorderly conduct, police asked him to identify himself.

The arrest report states the man told police his name was “James Tiberius Kirk,” the full name of the fictional character Captain Kirk from Star Trek.

Police say they later discovered the man’s real name is James Bundrick. The 56-year-old is now also facing a charge for providing a false name or identity to law enforcement.

Remember to not take your phaser out and wave it around in public if you know what I mean and I’m sure you do. It is, of course, only the logical thing to do.

    Well, we’ve got the humidity covered. It’s been August since mid-May. Today especially felt like my memory of being in Florida in the summer.

    Cop missed the opportunity, when the guy said he was scratching himself, to respond, “Come again?”
