Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

“They all knew.”

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

This fight is for everything.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

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

Creationists crushed in Dover. Hoping to keep stupid alive even after they themselves are gone, the Dover board packed it into a small spaceship and sent it to Kansas.

    I just hope the Indiana General Assembly takes the Dover defeat to heart. Certain Republicans in Indiana’s House of Representatives, including the Speaker of the House, Brian Bosma, want to introduce a bill that would require Intelligent Design to be taught alongside evolution in science classes.

    I don’t understand why people are fighting this. We need a cheap, undereducated labor force, and giving a certain segment a bad education is key to their failure at social mobility and thus the creation of non-immigrant cheap labor.

    metalgrid – You joke(I think?), but I’m convinced that is exactly what Republican leadership is thinking when they promote this crap.

    Steve,
    I was only partially joking, but if you were to read the views of several rightward think tanks and conservative thought, your summation would not be too far off. However, they do not see it as a labor issue, they see it as a method of controling their followers since they do believe in social stratification and oligarchy. Considering that I have no vested interest in power or rule, and I just want to hire someone to paint, clean my houses or repair my roof without paying an arm and a leg for it, I just have different priorities.

    If they bring that shit here in Indiana, I volunteer to fight in the streets to stop it. These jackasses in the General Assembly have already done enough damage to my beloved state with their anti-gay shit. We’re not as bad as Kansas, but damn we’re getting closer and closer each year. Indy is a fairly liberal town though, so hopefully they’ll be able to keep everybody in line in regards to this nonsense.

    I don’t know about Indy being that liberal. The center and some of the northern suburbs, sure. But I lived on the south side for a couple of years and it was pretty redneck. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

    haha, Well I used the term liberal relative to the rest of Indiana. I should have pointed that out, I guess. Compared to Shelbyville (my hometown), it’s L.A.

    On a related note, I see FDA is practicing the Kansas Scientific method regarding the licensing of Plan B (still).
