Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.
