Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Everyone go give a thunderous round of applause to the Commisar, who just had his 1 millionth hit.

Well done, mate.

    I would congratulate the Commissar, but as a Trot I can’t be seen supporting such a Stalinist apparatchik.
