Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Everybody saw this coming.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Sydney’s is the best fireworks display I’ve seen on social media, but you’re free to dispute my opinion in the comments.

Is there a place where I can find the Terms and Conditions for the new year? I've gone through the last two without reading them and I don't want to get burned a third time!#HappyNewYear2022

Everyone loves to talk about how awful 2021 was. Let’s think of some good things. I’ll start:

1. Trump’s coup failed. The winner of the 2020 election got inaugurated.

2. The war in Afghanistan ended (Ignore the hype. That was good.)

3. Labor unions went on strike and won.

COVID-19 Coronavirus Updates: Friday / Saturday, Dec. 31 – Jan. 1

This post is in: COVID-19, Foreign Affairs

New Year's Eve, usually celebrated globally with a free-spirited wildness, felt instead like deja vu, with the fast-spreading omicron variant again filling hospitals. Normally massive celebrations in New York City and Rio de Janeiro were much more muted. https://t.co/Y2IpTlHugV
