Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

“woke” is the new caravan.

People are weird.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

When we show up, we win.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

    Hmm. Can I take what’s behind door #3 instead?

    As I can’t access the WSJ article, I’d have to use the story from California about the state’s largest charter school collapsing as a potential tie-breaker. Also the fact that the data was released, but not publicized, many months ago.

    It’s not just the WSJ attacking the NYT, but several other major news sources. Oh, and never trust the guy who is selling you on an idea when they have a vested interest in the outcome. The NYT wants to punish Bush because he represents a challenge to their “vision” of the world, facts not withstanding.

    Be thankful that bad charter schools can fold.
    They won’t let the horrible public schools fold. Schools that are ruining the lives of millions of children are protected by teacher’s unions and democrat politicians.
