Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

This fight is for everything.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

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

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

We will not go back.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Second rate reporter says what?

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Who will be the first fool to point out that by showing the pictures of Uday and Qusay, the United States has violated the Geneva Convention?

Any bets?

    $20 on Rangel, $10 on McDermott and a c-note on one of the morons at eschaton/counterspin (take your pick). Pointing out the commenters is just too easy & the odds are probably crappy….

    You misspelled “tool”, John. Tool in both senses of the word.

    Um, John. I think you did :) But we’ll forgive your use of the word “fool” as it does not apply.
