Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

This fight is for everything.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The revolution will be supervised.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

In my day, never was longer.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

My, my my… I thought

This post is in: Media, Open Threads

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.
