Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

So very ready.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

The National Guard is not Batman.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Jack Kemp

Via TalkLeft, we see that Jack Kemp is thinking about running for Governor in California.

Right about now, there are probably some frantic phone calls from California to the DNC: “Heya Terry- can you go into the archives and then fax me the Kemp smears? BTW- What are Lehane and Blumenthal up to for the next few weeks?”

    But is Kemp a resident of California? I don’t think he lives there so it would be easy to label him a “carpetbagger.” Any campaign veteran would do that in an instant.

    “But is Kemp a resident of California? I don’t think he lives there so it would be easy to label him a “carpetbagger.” Any campaign veteran would do that in an instant.”

    Why not? After all, it worked so well against Shrillary.

    Carpetbagger won’t matter. I don’t think he’ll be able to make residency with the short time frame.
