Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Republicans do not trust women.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Everybody saw this coming.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

He really is that stupid.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Gee- almost the entire staff of Slate is voting for Kerry. Who would have guessed?

Now, if I could just figure out who the staff writers for the Village Voice, the Nation, the American Prospect, the Media Matters Staff, George Soros, and Theresa Heinz-Kerry intend to vote for, and I might be able to make up my mind.

I mean really- how ever am I supposed to figure out who David Brock, Atrios, and Oliver Willis are going to vote for?

    One word, John: Hitch. That’s just too damn funny. Look’s to me like the Limeys don’t believe in the Bogeyman, and know a Bonehead when they see him. Hey, maybe you could blame it on Hitchens’ drinking. Surely, the conservative base fantasizes about a return to Prohibition. Maybe a future intention along these lines was revealed to Hitch recently, and like Sully, was enough to make him cross over from the right side of history.

    I am not sure why his vote surprises you? I never expected him to vote for Bush.

    I see your point, John. Hitch is a contrarian, but he’s our contrarian, so there’s no real surprise that he’d come home.

    Still, he was apparently touting Bush in the Nation but a few days ago. What a schlosh, huh?
