Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Stand up, dammit!

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

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Everybody saw this coming.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Let there be snark.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

In my day, never was longer.
