Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

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

When we show up, we win.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Bark louder, little dog.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
