Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

So many bastards, so little time.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

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

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

This really is a full service blog.

Web is slow, blogger works intermittently, and I am on Spring Break.

Time for fruity frozen drinks.

I am not up on my religion, but I am sure this is a sign of some sort of Apocalypse.

Memento? Where were the Memento

Memento? Where were the Memento nominations? Although I must repeat, this will never reach the same level of appalling lack of judgement as the Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas shocker.

I guess Sidney Poitier is receiving some special lifetime acheivement award. I did not even know he was sick.

**Update**

His acceptance speech may have been one of the best I have ever seen at one of these shows. Made me teary eyed.
