Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I was promised a recession.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

    Also, alas, the anniversary of the great tsunami seven years ago that took about a quarter of a million human lives.

    @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.
