Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

When I was faster i was always behind.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

This blog will pay for itself.

Some great signs in Virginia!

Note from Elizabelle:

Great turnout! Police will not give me an estimate, but one said it’s the biggest protest that they’ve seen. And it has gone so smoothly. Resolute and good energy here.

    We have self-reports or news accounts from 320 of the 2,000 No Kings Day events across the US today. Up to an unofficial tally of about 575,000 people now. Extrpaolating from that, total would be around 4.5m people, or about 1.3% of the pop. Some error I’m sure. Thanks to everyone crowdsourcing!

    I think if we stretch in a lot, and say that 10% of the ‘expected 200,000’ people actually came to the Big Boring Bombast-Parade, that puts the cost per spectator at c. $2,200 PER PERSON.

    Stunning.

    @Baud:

    “La cumparsita [The Little Parade]”

    Originally an instrumental piece, lyrics have been added singing of one’s little parade of regrets that marches in quiet moments.

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka):   They don’t want to be there.  They don’t care if there are crowds or not.  They just want to get back to their barracks and maybe get a two day pass once they unload everything, clean it, and do preventative maintenance and service on all equipment.
