Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Let me file that under fuck it.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

    @Amir Khalid: One of the Washington Post reporters was there at the time and he was able to blog about the experience. It was horrific.
