Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Republicans in disarray!

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Let there be snark.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

This Yglesias post reminded me, once again, how little most people know about statistics (and this is not a dig at Matt- his explanation is about as clear as it comes).
