Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not trust women.

This really is a full service blog.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

We are aware of all internet traditions.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

People are weird.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

My, my my… I thought

My, my my… I thought this would be much more difficult. Take that Glenn. Actually, Glenn, Mr. Sullivan, and a variety of other people who I have been following daily are the reason I am starting this little project. I am not sure what I intend to accomplish with this, but I have covered any possible failure by refusing to set any goals. “Aim High,” I always say.
I think this might be a healthy place for me to air my pet grievances and bizarre political viewpoints- at least it will be healthier than the local pub, where I am in striking distance of the people I am offending. At any rate, I read a good deal of news sites, and I get irritated with all of the stupid and irrational things that get stated in our media without ANYONE challenging them. Fortunately, there are a lot of good folks out there debunking the garbage (I will get links I like up once I figger this all out), and I intend to help them. In fact, I think this stream of consciousness description has helped me to come up with the full title for the the corner. “The Curmudgeon’s Corner- Helping People Make fools of Themselves.”

Since nothing in my life

Since nothing in my life is easy, I doubt this will work the first time I try it. If it does work, I will be moderately elated.
