Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Petty moves from a petty man.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Republicans in disarray!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

… gradually, and then suddenly.

This Is A Tragedy

From the NY Times:

Former Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a New York City shoe shine boy who became an iconoclastic scholar-politician and served four terms in the Senate, died Wednesday. He was 76.

The New York Democrat and former U.N. ambassador had been in ill health. He was hospitalized in January for an intestinal disorder, and again soon after for a back injury. His latest setback was an infection after an emergency appendectomy on March 11 at the Washington Hospital Center.

Sen. Moynihan was a decent, honorable man who thought before he spoke, said what he thought, and meant what he said. He will be sorely missed.

    I’ve never heard an unkind word said about Sen. Moynihan, from either side of the aisle. George F. Will’s column was especially eloquent.

    I remember when the senator told sam donaldson the president clinton should be impeached “if he lied to the grand jury”. then he proceeded to vote against impeachment. so much for his honesty.
