Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The revolution will be supervised.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

The Marines have crossed into Iraq, and my secretary has an older brother in the 1st Marine Division. Her younger brother was on the 82nd Airborne Mission in Afghanistan last night.

Good luck and Godspeed.
