Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Bark louder, little dog.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Come on, man.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

I’d been led by friends to believe that Seymore Hersh’s latest article was all about a secret plan to go to war with Iran, but the Iran-related material in the piece is rather thin. Basically, it tells us what we already knew — that many influential people want to launch a military counterproliferation strike, and many other people think this is nuts. Hersh adds the tidbit that, allegedly, covert surveillance operations laying the groundwork for this are already under way. I don’t find that all too shocking, even if true.

I would find it shocking if the actual operations are not under way. I would consider it a severe ereliction of duty. Maybe on some issues, Democrats and Republicans view the world so differently that we can never gulf the ideological chasm. And this is Matt Yglesias, who, by any reasonable standard, is a rather hawkish Democrat.

    Hersh is a blow hard who would sell his mother for a headline. Why anyone would give him a minute’s notice is beyond me given his dependence on mystery sources.
