Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

    Violent crime has always been a local problem, not federal. Problem is so many congresspeople are products of local politics. They are also mental midgets and hard-core panderers by nature. When they get to Washington and find out that the real federal issues are complicated and that solutions require real leadership, they blanche. Still they have to do something to pass the time. Hence federal crime legislation. What really galls me is that these douche-bags are going to posture as tough. Tough for what? Taking on that organized pro-criminal lobby?
