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.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

This fight is for everything.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

He really is that stupid.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

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

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

This chaos was totally avoidable.

If you thought I was intemperate, you have not read Isntapundit’s latest screed:

Brendan O’Neill (bone ill dot blog spot dot com) is a pompous dwarf, a pinch-faced ninny, a snarling and scrofulous whelp. He certainly knows how to push warbloggers’ buttons, referring to his toffee-nosed dialect for inbred pumpkin-rollers as “Proper English”, and deriding us for not writing in same. In his view, Clint Eastwood stands less proud than a sallow, snaggle-toothed, sunken-chested, drooling cretin in a frill cravat and balloon pleated bloomers. O’Neill would have us substitute “Preenz Jawls” for our every “dork”; fie for shame on the smug twit!
