Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

People are weird.

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

    John! I would never have pegged you as a Hamiltonian. Talk about big government! I would have said more Madison.

    Another Goofy Quiz

    Big government conservatives

    Alert Fred Barnes! Conservatives like the Federalists. That’s right, the political party that gave us an activist federal court system and a giant federal bureaucracy is now the darling of the right! My evidence? Well, uh, David Frum links to…
