Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

When we show up, we win.

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

No Justins, No Peace

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Truth? You Can’t Handle the Truth!

Sure, we all say we want honest politicians. But this might be a touch too honest:

Assemblyman Willis Stephens learned the hard way this week that there’s a big difference between hitting the “reply” and “forward” buttons when you subscribe to an e-mail discussion list.

Stephens inadvertently sent an e-mail Monday morning to nearly 300 subscribers of a discussion group, or “listserv,” that focuses on the community of Brewster, in Putnam County. Stephens, a Republican, represents an area that includes a handful of towns in Putnam and Westchester counties and the Town of Pawling in Dutchess County.

In his message, he said he subscribes to the list to monitor what is going on in Brewster but doesn’t post messages.

“Just watching the idiots pontificate,” Stephens wrote.

He had thought the message was going to Beth Coursen, an aide in his Assembly district office, Coursen said. But instead of forwarding an earlier e-mail from the discussion group to Coursen

    “Just watching the idiots pontificate,”

    That sounds familiar.

    We’re sure he wasn’t talking about the NYS Assembly?
