Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Petty moves from a petty man.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

    My neighbor’s not here illegally.

    Does that mean, Meezer, that it’s OK to break the law if the victims aren’t legal immigrants?

    Hey, don’t you know there’s a War on Terror on? We don’t have time for such niceties as civil rights and oversight of law-enforcement bodies. Wake up, America!

    Which is exactly why John keeps sweeping this stuff under the carpet, Kimmitt.

    If it’s up there, but Ashcroft is still in charge, it really doesn’t make much of a difference.

    By that logic, you should have stopped bitching about it several months ago.

    Depends on who I’m agitating to get to be the next President, in my opinion.

    Agitating, eh? I’ll try to keep that in mind when deciding which of your posts are worth responding to. Is Kimmitt actually attempting to make a reasoned point, here, or merely agitating?

    Screw it. I don’t want to work that hard.

    The two are not at all incompatible.
