Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

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

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

So very ready.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Why is it that every

Why is it that every time the DOW is down triple digits at lunchtime, the NY Times has a huge Headline that states “Stocks Drop Sharply,” but when they are up 300 points at lunch the Ny Times is quiet?

I don’t really need to answer that question, do I?

**** UPDATE ****

It is now 3:10 pm, EST, and the DOW is up 360 points now, yet there is still no glaring headline about stocks being sharply up. I guess they only like to scare investors during a slide, not encourage them during rallies.

There is, however, this article on the front page: “Economy Stirs G.O.P. Worry in House Races.”

Does anyone think the NY Times has any credibility?
