Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

So many bastards, so little time.

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans in disarray!

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

I’m watching the official feed, which is hosted by a couple of long-time Capitol guides, since they have cameras in places where nobody else does.  They have apparently been told to avoid mentioning 1/6, so it’s interesting to hear them dancing around the subject, especially when Eugene Goodman was introduced.

    I’ve been just filled with loathing for Trump like I’ve never been for years in the last 24 hours  it’s because listening to Biden speak I realized our leaders should be talking like adults and not  like the snot frait boi everyone loves to beat up while on a cocaine binge.  God fucking lord, Biden as president is like having a nail removed from my foot with the relief that constant pain is gone.  Four damn years of that 70 year old  going on 19 orange clown endlessly bragging  about all the hookers he’s paid to have sex with him. Bleeh.

    This speech is decent – but I remember Obama making a lot of the same appeals for 8 years and these assholes voted for Trump. I hope that this time the lesson is learned.

    I will say that Joe delivers his speeches with a simple elegance that very different from the soaring oration of Obama.
