Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Be a wild strawberry.

The revolution will be supervised.

This really is a full service blog.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Strawberry was good.

But Pomegranate/Blueberry is amazing.

    April 11, 2007. Balloon-Juice is now renamed “Fruit Juice”, apparently Cole’s new boyfriend approves, and ideas for new blog posts has officially hit rock bottom.

    And for what it’s worth, Orange Julius could kick all their asses with its pinky.

    Rome likes her some Orange Julius, although the red variety kind of sucked!

    How dare you ruin my thread on the DELICIOUS HOLA FRUTA with a thread on thatgrumpy old man?

    And to be honest, I don’t know what I like more- the actual ice cream or saying Hola FRUTA!

    Forgive! But they don’t offer Hola Fruta in my area, so I thought I could ignore your obviously biased endorsement.

    And besides, I thought it was an open thread!

    Woops – we seem to have lost all the emails:

    The White House said Wednesday it had mishandled Republican Party-sponsored e-mail accounts used by nearly two dozen presidential aides, resulting in the loss of an undetermined number of e-mails concerning official White House business.

    Congressional investigators looking into the administration’s firing of eight federal prosecutors already had the nongovernmental e-mail accounts in their sights because some White House aides used them to help plan the U.S. attorneys’ ouster. Democrats were questioning whether the use of the GOP-provided e-mail accounts was proof that the firings were political.

    Nothing to see here, folks. Move along…

    Hola Fruta is made by Jews with the blood of gentile babies.

    Whatever, you abortophile. Actually, it sounds Mexican, so I’m guessing the illegals brought it over with them in backpacks to peddle to the masses and John Cole so they will become addicted, gay, and constantly saying “Hello, Fruit” every damn time they get thirsty.

    Shredded and permanantly deleted, I’m sure.

    Sounds yummy….but….is there a sherbet out there that does NOT have corn syrup in it?

    At least it’s not ‘high fructose’. But why have it at all?

    Just wonderin’.

    Carry on….

    Seriously? Because corn syrup is cheaper than real sugar.
