Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

When we show up, we win.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Second rate reporter says what?

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson: the bland and smiling face of evil.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

The revolution will be supervised.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Just finished Bernard Lewis’s What

Just finished Bernard Lewis’s What Went Wrong. A great read, and I would recommend it. Andrew Sullivan’s book review club seems to have taken off, and this sparked an idea for me. I would much rather just have a book exchange. If anyone has a book they would like to swap (I usually buy several every month), I would be glad to ship you my copy of What Went Wrong in exchange for another tome on relevant issues, both historical and political. The deal is, you send me the book, I send you the book, we are both responsible for the shipping, and then you send it on to someone else in exchange for another book in the future- a book swap club, if you will. E-mail me if you are interested.
