Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

This fight is for everything.

Petty moves from a petty man.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Everybody saw this coming.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

He really is that stupid.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

IF anyone was ever curious

IF anyone was ever curious why the terrorists did not take us seriously, this is a partial reason:

SALT LAKE CITY — An airline passenger who allegedly got up to go the bathroom less than 30 minutes before landing became the first person arrested under a new federal flight regulation adopted for the Olympics.

Richard Bizarro, 59, could get up to 20 years in prison on charges of interfering with a flight crew.

We don’t deserve to be taken seriously. How putting middle-aged men in jail for using the bathroom fights terrorism is beyond me.

*** Update ***

Ken Goldstein has already come up with a defense for Mr. Bizarro.
