Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

T R E 4 5 O N

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let’s finish the job.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Apparently not in Manalapan, NJ. Bonus: especially not if you dare criticize town officials on your blog.

    Nor, it appears, do people suspected of being bloggers:

    The township subpoenaed Google for “daTruthSquad’s” identity — as well as for any emails, blog drafts, and other information Google has about the blogger — claiming that the defendant in the case is actually writing the posts. The defendant, however, has already sworn under penalty of perjury that he is not “daTruthSquad.”

    Next up, the local SWAT team will go door to door to find out who made that joke about the mayor.

    Add the council of Manalapan to list of Americans who’d be happier in Russia.

    of course there is free speech in New Jersey.

    And politicians there consider ‘kneecapping’ a form of free speech too…

    He’s just lucky he didn’t make a joke about how fat Johnny Sack’s wife is.

    But what does it matter if he is the defendant? Is the defendant unable to make public statements or writings in a civil law case? Is there a ruling from the bench that says he cannot do something like that?

    It sounds like BS to me.
