Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Republicans do not trust women.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

Well.. I am back, sort of. I have to be out of town starting Wednesday, so I should be able to resume posting seriously when I get back. First things first. If you have not seen the news yet, Le Pen stunned the socialist Jospin, and the left is up in arms, marching in the streets. Le Pen had this to say to reporters:

“I have nothing to do with fascism,” Le Pen said. “Fascism is protesting the result of a vote violently in the street.”
