Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

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

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

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

So very ready.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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.
