Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
