Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

All hail the time of the bunny!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

I really should read my own blog.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

My Dog is Smarter Than Me I

Tonight, I told my dog, Charlotte, that I was wondering why there weren’t more sensible Republicans in the race. She looked at me as though I was stupid. I understood. Smart dog.

    Sensible Republican is an oxymoron.

    (Emphasis on the “moron”)

    That’s a lab for you. They believe that most partisan issues can be resolved with more treats followed by some nice pets. Nature’s liberals is what they are.

    As a professional grammar Nazi, I can say that this is the correct form.

    That would be object pronoun as opposed to subject pronoun? I always put a verb after it and see if it sounds right or not. I am or me am? It’s when you try to learn another language that you wish you’d paid more attention to grammar in school.

    Pro nouns or pro nazis, you’re all a bunch of librul fascists. I did paid attention to grammar in school. I listened to Grampa too, but it weren’t much help cuz he don’t talk right neither.

    Well, you shouldn’t listen to her all the time. Dogs have brains the size of walnuts, and are only good at the simple questions. So while she may be smarter than you, the rest of us are smarter than her.

    OK, sorry, couldn’t resist. It’s a slow morning…

    Hey by the way — preview seems to be missing. There’s just a [.] down there where preview used to be. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Good grammar is, of course, a dog, i.e., a bitch.
