Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

“Alexa, change the president.”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Stand up, dammit!

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

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

According to three economics professors, one of whom is a nobel laureate, tax cuts don’t cause aids, canker sores, premature ejaculation, or any of the other bogeymans the left claim they may cause. In fact- they might actually be good!

    I actually stumbled across that in someone else’s comments section. Just to get the discovery credits sufficiently obfuscated.

    Sorry, it’s in WSJ, so I don’t trust it.

    Maybe someone ought to ask Brad DeLong to comment. It’d be interesting to see a little direct confrontation between credentialed economists.
