Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The lights are all blinking red.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

“Alexa, change the president.”

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).
