Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Everybody saw this coming.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

This really is a full service blog.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Stand up, dammit!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

    Yeah, but without hyperbole, it’s not entertaining.
