Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

The National Guard is not Batman.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

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

I see Clark and Lieberman are skipping the pre-ordained Iowa caucuses. If everyone stops taking this insignificant state’s primaries seriously, will that mean an end to ethanol subsidies?
