Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Stay strong, because they are weak.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Republicans do not trust women.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

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

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

We will not go back.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

An Update on HR 3808

The indispensable D-Day has an update on HR 3808, and it looks like this is more about a pissing match between Congress and the WH than an actual attempt to override the bill.

    I’ve got to go with Pelosi. You can’t allow the president to say “no backsies” to anything he doesn’t like.

    And yet this won’t stop certain people from screaming about how this is all a betrayal and it was a fake veto etc etc.

    So this may be more about defending the right of congress to over ride a veto than an actual desire to over ride this particular veto?

    The mind reels. Or something.

    Nothing like the support Black Jimmy Carter gets from the Democratic Controlled Congress. Bully Pulpit!!

    They can’t really think they have enough votes to override it? In both houses? Really?

    @Bill H.:

    I doubt it. It’s just another dickwaving contest from Congress, trying to prove that the president is not the boss of them.
