Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

This fight is for everything.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

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

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Maybe a little comic relief is in order. You know, after the week, month, year, nearly a decade of what we have been through.

I laughed way too hard at this 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/3UTMkF9DW3

    If he wasn’t a raging homophobe, it shouldn’t matter who he wants to have consensual sex with.  Alas…

    @West of the Rockies:  I started a serious post with that as the first tweet, then came across the silly cow video and deleted the Ohio senate tweet.

    Then when the post went up, I saw that I had deleted the wrong tweet.  So now your comment at #1 will make no sense unless I explain that the deleted tweet was about how they (who is putting that out there?) has receipts to indicate that the Republican candidate for senate in Ohio is gay.

    Did somebody fraudulently sell this guy a mini-cow? “Just look at me now!”

    @WaterGirl: I’m not even sure I know who all the Republicans are who are running in the primary to be Sherrod Brown’s challenger.

    My feeling is, I’m not voting for them, why pay any attention? They don’t deserve it. But now my curiously is piqued. A little.

    Let’s see, there’s the nitwit who is the currrently the Secretary of State, LaRose, and I think two others. I’m guessing it’s one of the others because LaRose is already in the spotlight and a known entity.

    TRUMP backed candidate Bernie Moreno’s email was used to create a profile in 2008 seeking “Men for 1-on-1 sex.”

    “Looking for young guys to have fun with”

    That video is a giant sized version of me and one of the cats. She turned up in the back garden at about 6 months old and obviously part of her diet had been thrown away food. She loves sandwiches, chips, tacos you name it. Given cats and their reaction to garlic/onions etc it’s amazing she survived
