Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

No one could have predicted…

The revolution will be supervised.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

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

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

After roe, women are no longer free.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

You cannot shame the shameless.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

What Is Happening

I don’t know who these guys are, and what they have done with my beloved Pirates, but I will take it.

They have now won ten games in a row. As ameasure of how inadequate they were earlier this season, they are still only 38-43.

At any rate, they have been fun to watch. Congrats to Jack Wilson, too, for making the All-Star roster.
