Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

We will not go back.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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.
