Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Everybody saw this coming.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

When we show up, we win.

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

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

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

Much ado has been made

Much ado has been made about a possible realignment of Jewish voters into the Republican party, and most of it is cynical in nature and makes no attempt to understand that some things are simply not politically motivated. I am a registered Republican who has a tendency to vote libertarian, but to me, there has never been an issue regarding the defense of Israel. My support for Israel and Israelis has nothing to do with the fact that Jews may vote one way or another. The reason I support Israelis and the state of Israel is simply because it is the right thing to do. I see through the equivocation, relativism, anti-Semitism, and the other bullshit, and I simply have put my foot down on the issue in a way that previously have been hard to predict. Republicans are in support of Israel in spite of the traditionally Democrat Jewish vote, not because they are trying to swing a few votes here and there.

I am supporting Israel because it is the right thing to do. Period.

Here is the story that sparked this little blurb.
