Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

Republicans in disarray!

The National Guard is not Batman.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

How stupid are these people?

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Stand up, dammit!

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Come on, man.

Screw Sully and his pledge drive! Check out my updated Amazon Wish list. That tv sure looks nice…

I remember my old drill Sergeant telling me to “Wish in one hand and spit* in the other and see which one fills up first.”

    Yeah, we’ll my black hat at Airborne school used to repeat the phrase “This ain’t Burger King, you can’t have it your way,” every time anyone in my stick asked for anything.

    So you get nothing, and you’ll like it!

    Seriously though, I’m too poor to give either you or Sullivan anything. Sorry.

    If the word is spit, then I would wish my mouth weren’t so dry. I have long had a similar response to the other version.

    The future of freedom is a great great book. Zakaria convinced me that we have far too much democracy in this country.
