Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Republicans in disarray!

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

Stand up, dammit!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The Left Coast

Here is the entire list of candidates for the run-off election in California. What a bloody mess.

It appears that a Willie Brown, Jr. is running. Is that Willie Brown’s son (you know which Willie Brown I mean- clearly, every Willie Brown, Jr. is the son of some Willie Brown).

(via Tacitus)

*** Update ***

Andrew Lazarus points out that I am illiterate fool, and that Willie Brown, Jr. is running for the state Senate.

    You misread the list. Willie Brown Jr has taken out papers for the 3rd State Senate District. Several offices are in the one table.

    This list is not complete. The deadline is the 9th, I believe, and not all of the people listed will necessarily file.

    The governor part of things is a “recall election.” There’s only about 90 names with “governor” next to them. I don’t know whether being on that list mean they already paid the $3500 or not, but I’d doubt it.

    The one name definitely on the list for Governor is Gary Coleman of small angry black child actor fame. One wonders if his campaign slogan will be “Whatchu Talkin’ Bout, Davis?” I’d vote for him.

    I understand the number of persons who have taken out papers is about 400 now. (Not all will submit them.)
