Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Everybody saw this coming.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

Come on, man.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

    Leaving a comment so you won’t feel lonely. Thank you for being optimistic. I’m just not there — too tired and discouraged.

    @zhena gogolia: Appreciate the comment.  Maybe if you listened to the zoom for an hour you might feel a bit less hopeless.

    @zhena gogolia: It’s an hour.

    Only encouraging you to try it since I felt better after our phone conversation with Brendan a month or so ago.

    I get it if you’re not ready yet, but giving up is the only sure way for us to lose this battle for human rights and democracy.

    @zhena gogolia: I’m in the “fall down, get up” school myself.
    Crushed by all the damage being set loose on us,

    then engaged and hopeful anytime people are discussing things to do, approaches, ways to rethink things, or effectively change it and fight back, or win.
    And then overwhelmed again, and so tired. Etc.

    just saying I relate.

    Just attempted to sign in but zoom doesn’t seem to like me anymore.

    Will try to rectify but have missed this one.

    See Ya
