Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans in disarray!

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

In my day, never was longer.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

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

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Come on, man.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

    Nice link John!!

    A couple things caught my eye. One is that my Governor Jodi Rell (R) had a 66% approval rating in a “dark blue” state like CT. And your governor and Schweitzer in Montana also had high approval ratings in a couple of “red” states.

    Interesting…

    One thing you have to remember is that Joe Manchin more of a JFK-style Democrat then he is a modern day Democrat, so much so that he has been labeled a “Republican in Democrat’s clothing” or a D.I.N.O by other Democrats within the state party during his previous runs for the gubernatorial nomination and later his run for Secretary of State.
