Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

This fight is for everything.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

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

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

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

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

A Survey

Your help is being requested:

A research team from the Psychology Department at New York University, headed by Professor Yaacov Trope and supported by the National Science Foundation, is investigating the cognitive causes of voting behavior, political preferences, and candidate evaluations throughout the course of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. This stage of the study focuses on the information people use to inform evaluations in the days immediately preceding the election. They seek respondents of all political leanings from all over the country (and from the rest of the world) to complete a 15-minute questionnaire, the responses to which will be completely anonymous. All respondents are entered into periodic random drawings for prizes of $100. Respondents will also receive detailed information about the research findings after data collection is completed.

The survey is here.

Totally unrelated, but the Princeton University Press has a new blog.
