Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Republicans do not trust women.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Let me file that under fuck it.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

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

A tidy little explanation of the shrinking budget surplus that I found from a neat little site called Ipse Dixit.
