Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Some light fare to start the morning:

1.) Will Warren on bomb-sniffing (ar anything sniffing, for that matter) police dogs.

Are the dogs a good idea? I suppose.
But a chap who does his thinking with his nose
Does not in me much confidence inspire:
