Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Books are my comfort food!

    Love the pictures, love Scituate! A friend’s grandmother had a home on the beach. I was there when a huge thunderstorm blew in off the ocean. Even the sand shook at every clap of thunder. It was terrifying and awesome!
