Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

T R E 4 5 O N

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

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

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Everybody saw this coming.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Our President’s Renowned Rhetorical Excellence:

This was the most painful Bush mangling of a popular phrase that I have ever heard. Every time I hear this clip, it pains me deeply. Here is the text, which does not do the sound bite justice. It was worse on tape.

”There’s an old saying in Tennessee
