Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

When we show up, we win.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

I am not sure why

I am not sure why this surprises or upsets anyone:

Israeli moves to erect security fences and protective walls have enraged Palestinians who call it another form of collective punishment. Analysts say unilateral separation may be unrealistic and harmful to peace efforts.

We have been using fences for years in West Virginia to keep animals out of areas we don’t want them (or conversely, in areas we do want them).

Update: Jay Zilber has it right.
