Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

We’re not going back!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

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

When we show up, we win.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I was promised a recession.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

While the Balloon Juice Laptop Fund has been an abject failure, I must admit I never expected much to come of it. At any rate, imagine my surprise when UPS showed up with two books from my Amazon wish list purchased by an anonymous donor. The two were:

The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler’s Germany, 1941-1945 by Michael R. Beschloss and Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World by Margaret Olwen Macmillan, Richard Holbrooke.

Perfect timing, too, because the Steelers have a bye this weekend. Books are much cooler than money any day of the week. Also, should anyone ever desire to send books again, by all means send used ones. They are cheaper, and it isn’t like the words wear out or anything.

Thanks a bunch. And remember, it is not too late to help participate in the laptop fund. If you don’t want to do that, you could always donate to my absolute favorite charity in the world, which is Helping Hands Monkeys. Hell, go see what you can do to help Helping Hands Monkeys anyway.

    I’m not a big fan of Beschloss’ book – but I think it ( together with Fleming’s “The New Dealers’ War” debunks the myth of FDR being a brilliant war leader.
