Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

How stupid are these people?

So very ready.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

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

When I was faster i was always behind.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

    @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.
