Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Everybody saw this coming.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Read ’em, bookmark ’em, and you will be better for it.

Also, Sgt. Stryker is now renamed Beers Across America, and I have fixed my Cold Fury link. Sorry for any problems.
