Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

People are weird.

Let there be snark.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

In my day, never was longer.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Half of me (Ok- all

Half of me (Ok- all of me) wanted to televise John Dingell being strip-searched at an airport after this outburst (the title prompted me to ask “who the hell keeps electing John Dingell”), but Safire calmed me down.

I am for freedom of information, but after the last 8 years of Dingell and company looking the other way while the Clinton’s ******** (insert you favorite scandal or blatant act of questionably legal or outright illegal patronage and otherwise criminal behavior here) makes me spit nails.

I am holding off til tomorrow to read Herbert. I need to go to bed tonight and he agitates me.
