Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

T R E 4 5 O N

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

No one could have predicted…

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

George Bush is about to

George Bush is about to make the second-worst mistake in his young Presidency (the first being his refusal to tell Congress to pound salt and that there was NO WAY IN HELL he would sign CFR). According to Reuters reports, our President is about to levy 30% tariffs on imported steel for up to three years, in a blatant act of patronage and political cynicism.

Note to Bush- Protectionism does not work. This will only prop up an industry that should have long ago gone bankrupt because of its inability to compete in a global market. Instead of going bankrupt, being bought out, and letting those assets be used by a responsible, productive entity, they will now be protected, choke and wheeze along on life-support for a couple more years, and cause retaliation from every other nation so that every American can pay more for imported products. Good thinking, boys.

And before someone fires back that our competitors are propped up by their government, let me remind you that they are SOCIALISTS, and that is one of the annoying things that they do.
