Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

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

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

It has been pointed out that I made the bigtime, being mentioned in the Toledo Blade and the Pittsburgh Post Gazette by Jack Kelly. Kinda cool. The Post Gazette is the local paper I read most, so this is extra cool.

As an added bonus, Kelly, as he usually does, gets the story right.

    Because Tonight’s Iowa Debate …

    … is hosted by Iowa’s Brown-Black Forum, the Democrats have been pandering (and attacking) on race-related issues. I haven’t been able to watch the entire debate, but two moments have stood out thus far: Sharpton attacking Thumb-Powered Howard on rac…
