Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Fight them, without becoming them!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Shut up, hissy kitty!

“woke” is the new caravan.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The revolution will be supervised.

In my day, never was longer.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

    @Leto: Given the reputation for drinking his own urine direct from the tap on video, maybe you want to rephrase flood gates.

    Sorry, but I have trouble keeping track of all the Republican assholes. Are people sending him dick pics on general principle, or has he done something specific that makes him especially deserving?

    ETA: And I guess Adam L Silverman has answered this.

    Insert “is it real, or is it the Onion?” emoji here. Is this a person I should be aware of, or an internet character like Mrs Betty Bowers and Owen’s Grandpa and Merkin Patriot?

    @Roger Moore: @Jim, Foolish Literalist: He goes by the nickname Joey Salads. He’s a local asshat from Staten Island. Basically stereotypical Staten Islander who runs a racist YouTube channel who is now running as a Republican to try to unseat Max Rose, the current Democratic congressman from that district.

    To lighten the mood and inject some style into this thread, here’s a band I was introduced to today.

    The Judiciary Committee hearing on police brutality was our politics in a nutshell:

    See reaction from @DrPhilGoff to conservative @HMDatMI as she asserts at a House Oversight hearing on policing that concerns about police shooting black people are overstated. pic.twitter.com/FSRaiLNIFL— Oliver Willis (@owillis) September 19, 2019

    Heather Mac Donald goes on to say it's actually *white* people who are hurt by police, and @DrPhilGoff vigorously shakes his head "no." pic.twitter.com/8iG8U4LCYj— Oliver Willis (@owillis) September 19, 2019

    It goes on, but I’ll get put in moderation. At the end Matt Gaetz tries to quote Al Sharpton.

    Indian PM Morarji Desai was famous for doing this too (some kind of traditional medicinal practice, as I recall) but to my knowledge Desai never videoed it coming out of the tap, as it were.

    Michael D. Collins has been described as Danny Devito portraying Bernie Sander.

    Here’s how an Irishman described him:

    “He’s our tiny wizard President. He waits in line at atms. He buys people ice-cream. He speaks up, loudly, for the downtrodden. He’s a poet and a University professor. His name is Michael D. Higgins, or as he’s affectionately known (because a child on tv called him this) Miggledy.”

    There’s a president we know and respect.

    Youse will love him cuz his doggos are devoted.

    @Chetan Murthy: I especially liked how his hapless opponent (Graham) kept repeatedly trying to interrupt, only to get trampled each time by Higgins’ barrelling delivery. The man simply had no chance ….

    @HumboldtBlue:
    It’s not often that a president’s nickname sounds like a term of endearment. Usually it’s the opposite of one.

    I only attended the Strawberry Music Festival a couple times, fifteen years or so ago.
    I can see that I should have kept going.

    @ruemara:

    I assume his name is some kind of pun relating to tossed salad (which is code for an unmentionable sex act).

    And if it’s not it should be.

    @HumboldtBlue: Michael Collins is another famous Irishman, not the current president of Ireland.
