Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

T R E 4 5 O N

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

So many bastards, so little time.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

James at OTB has two great links up you should check out. The first is this link to an Andrew Sullivan piece on why he (Andrew) still supports the war in Iraq. The second is this link to a story about “B1” Bob Dornan expressing interest in running for Congress again. That will get the usual lefty quarters screaming.

    John,

    Dornan is a certifiable lunatic. During the last era in which I had cable, I watched on C-SPAN, perversely fascinated, as Dornan delivered an impassioned speech in which he alleged Clinton was a Soviet mole. Problem was that the chamber was empty, save charladies, who, during cut-away shots, were clearly wondering whether this guy had two heads or three.

    Days later, Dornan was on PBS’s NewHour, hotly demanding to know why no one had followed up the “Clinton-the-mole” charges, which were a matter of House record! Yep: because he put them there in the dead of night.

    This is not a lefty vs. righty thing. Anyone who regards Dornan as a credible candidate must be fond of Reynolds Wrap.

    Why should I get my knickers in a twist over Dornan?

    The man’s a joke. He got 16% of the vote the last time out. If you read the linked story, you’ll find he’s thinking about running as a member of the American Independent Party, which is a California offshoot of the Constitution Party, which is a RW flake fringe group, and whose leadership doesn’t seem too pleased with the idea. So he’d be running as a candidate for a splinter group of a fringe group.

    This is good for laughs, not angst.
