Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Republicans in disarray!

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

Giving up is unforgivable.

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

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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.
