Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

We still have time to mess this up!

Books are my comfort food!

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

How stupid are these people?

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

I see France, I see someone’s underpants.

Not sure how those pictures got out, but I really am not going to lose any sleep over it.

    Uh, did I miss something? When did American foreign policy turn against dictators? When Donald Rumsfeld stopped selling weapons to Saddam Hussein? When the Shah of Iran (Hussein’s alter-ego) stopped having dinner in the White House East Room? When the Bush family renounced its ties to the corrupt Saudi Royal Family?

    Give me a goddamned break.
