Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Everybody saw this coming.

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

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

“They all knew.”

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Wait, what?

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This picture makes me happy:

    This would kill me. I know hotel windows rarely open, I couldn’t handle the guilt stares.

    Hopefully, those little guys can find a relatively protected place to hide.

    I love birds.

    @cckids: People saw this and were sad because it is a very high up floor on a building where windows do not open.

    Hello Seattle PD I would like to file a missing persons report on the Seattle Seahawk Offense, I think the OC might be responsible. Also congratulations??? to the NFL for fielding the Seahawk/Packer game with blind and deaf referees.

    Parrot picture made me incredibly sad when I first saw it on Twitter. Thought it was one more Irma animal abuse shot showing some crazy people had abandoned their pets.

    But turns out these two work the area regularly. This tweet explains:

    I’ll let you guys no how they fared-I work in the office building connected to the dadeland marriot and they visit often

    Though the person’s twitter feed says she just got to Atlanta, so we may have to wait for follow-up.

    Scores dead or soon to be and out of the blue I’m worried for two little feathered critters who cannot simply come in out of the rain. Still, I’m with cckids, and must break here with out esteemed host. (@MazeDancer: Thx for the follow-up info.)

    Sitting in a hammock between two palms and the birds squawking above me just shit on me. Screw the birds!

    Also, these two hurricanes have made me start to reconsider living out here in Hawaii. We’ve dodged most of the hurricanes the past couple decades, but with global warming making them stronger it may not be smart to stay long. It’s only a matter of time before we get hit by a big one and there is nowhere to evacuate to.

    Apparently, the handegg gods have decreed that there can be only one decent team in East Rutherford. Looks like it’s going to be Becton Regional again this year.

    And the previous blog showing oven-fried “chicken” didn’t put them off at all?
