Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

When we show up, we win.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

How stupid are these people?

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

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

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

Republicans do not trust women.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

    Ahhh, seriously, thanks for the emergency backup Balloon Juice.

    ‘@Layer8Problem You’re welcome. It was kind of nice knowing my ten-year-old colocated Mac mini was providing a little solace for a grieving (or at least massively annoyed) population.

    Oh well, back to hosting some activism, a couple of musician web sites, and half a terabyte of cute dog pictures.

    I think our temporary host is giving us the “visitors and fish” story stink eye while graciously showing us the door.

    Well thank you, and your colocated Mac mini, and WaterGirl, and everyone doing the recovery for us for all the work, adrenaline, and nail-biting. One never know what one has ’til you lose it.

    ‘@alang: thanks so much for the temporary digs, and I personally apologize for the stray Cheeto that fell behind the couch. I swear, I tried to reach down to pick it up.

    It’s been fine here. I will keep this bookmark on my list, but I look forward to spending time at Balloon-Juice again. Wish I had a clever quip, but no.
    So long.
