Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

No Justins, No Peace

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

He really is that stupid.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

    I suggest the Brazilian and Colombian governments invite the Corsican nationalists over for a chat to explain their problems. Paris would love that.

    But, but. . .French Intelligence can’t be a bunch of inept bungling fools! What about their masterful handling of the Godzilla crisis in 1997 and the Rainbow Warrior incident in the eighties?
