Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Everybody saw this coming.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

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

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Come on, man.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
