Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I was promised a recession.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

When we show up, we win.

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

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Not all heroes wear capes.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

    Even ESPN will probably be talking about him.

    Don’t care either, but…the expression on Nancy Grace’s face on Court TV this evening: priceless. She looks like someone just ran over her dog. First Jennifer Wilbanks had the nerve not to be the victim of some horrific crime and now this.

    My mother and I were discussing this; she is old enough to recall the Lindbergh kindapping circus and said this was far worse and more repulsive.

    I have NO idea if the man is actually guilty. None of us were in that courtroom, and only got what we were allowed to see on what passes for news coverage these days.

    But for those who believe he is guilty, take heart: I am sure the civil suit will be filed by Friday.
