Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

IS it just me, or does anyone else think the word “Volokhian” reminds them of Star Trek?
