Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

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

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The willow is too close to the house.

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Be a wild strawberry.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
