Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

This really is a full service blog.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

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

Why I read the Indepundit every day- two great posts up:

1.) Vietnam veterans who are serving in Iraq.

2.) Why he hates the flag burning amendment.

    The comment thread on the flag burning amendment is interesting. I did not realize that we needed to organize citizen brigades, a la the Minutemen, to stop this national pandemic (what, about one per year or something?). Oh wait, they’ll have to organize AFTER the amendment is passed, because then the number of incidents will geometrically increase.

    I mentioned to a friend that a flag burning amendment was a waste of time and he called me a liberal weinie who never served. This is a friend I grew up with who knows I’m not a liberal or a weinie but he couldn’t control himself when confronted with a differeing opinion. We’re all fucked.

    Yes, there are times when libertarian conservatives and liberals can join for a common cause. Still, imho Reynolds is grossly overrated. Most of the time he is only linking to other’s content. If you didn’t know anything about him, would you think he’s a prof? Just compare his postings with Cole’s or DeLong’s. Instapundit is like MacBrain….
