Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Let there be snark.

Books are my comfort food!

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

This is why James Lileks is a genius, and I am just an intemperate windbag.
