Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

The willow is too close to the house.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

This really is a full service blog.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

Today is the anniversary of the ratification of the Constitution, as well as the Summer Solstice.

Or, as I like to call it, the day before my birthday. I turn 35 tomorrow. Thirty-five going on 12, that is.
