Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

I was promised a recession.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.
