Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Peak wingnut was a lie.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The Illuminated Donkey discusses name

The Illuminated Donkey discusses name changes for blogs. This site (Balloon Juice, not Blogical Suspects) has had more name changes than days of existence. Now I find out that one of the reasons Blogical Suspects changed names was that when abbreivated it was BS. Balloon Juice, shortened, me thinks is worse. Sometimes I want to cry.
