Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

This fight is for everything.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Come on, man.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

    His absence also means the donks don’t have their ‘alleged’ leader of the House minority membership, or doesn’t that title mean anything?!

    Gephardt’s pandering “my daddy loved the union” speech is being called hogwash by his own brother…

    This makes me think back to the wonderful days of “gridlock” in congress. The media would constantly decry what was obviously great news. Yeah, Congress was gridlocked alright- they didn’t have the ability to pass any more laws limiting my freedom and taking my money. How tragic.

    “His absence also means the donks don’t have their ‘alleged’ leader of the House minority membership, or doesn’t that title mean anything?! ”

    Nancy Pelosi is the House Minority Leader now. Don’t be embarrassed about forgetting that–I’m sure the House Democrats would like to forget it themselves at times. :-)
