Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Fight them, without becoming them!

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

Wednesday Bullets

Tacitus has his daily bullets up, and this might be the anrkiest episode ever. I particularly enjoyed the description of Kevin Drum’s Paul Krugman interview:

Paul Krugman is hopelessly naive and never paid attention to conservatives before the year 2000. That’s the only conclusion I can draw from his interview with Kevin Drum, in which he plumbs the depths of the right’s hidden agenda to find that we’re opposed in principle to most if not all social programs! Back to the hive, comrades, we are exposed. The corollary rhetoric about the abolition of the First Amendment and the cancellation of meaningful elections is just risible paranoia. There is a worthwhile nugget of insight in his observation that the strategem of “starving” social spending via underfunding and deficits simply won’t work absent national catastrophe; certainly an important point in itself. But on the whole, if Drum’s exposition was supposed to move us beyond Krugman’s image of a frenetic, blinkered partisan, it only succeeded in solidifying that perception. Next: Krugman finds that libertarians want to eradicate government altogether. Someone must warn the American people.

Giggle.

    This does come in the context of the President running as a “compassionate conservative,” yes?
