Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

I really should read my own blog.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

No one could have predicted…

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

    I’ll pass, thanks. Anyway, I’m busy making new screens, one of the more annoying home improvement tasks I’ve undertaken. Only had to redo one so far, though.

    I always love John’s occasional “I may now be a Democrat but my god most national Democratic pols suck!” posts. May be time for another, as TPM reports the party is moving away from ‘Republican War On Women’ framing. Must be working too well; can’t have that. Dems who fight upset the Commentariat, too.

    @efgoldman:

    My god, that’s total crap. Pierce, as usual, is trying waaaay to hard to be clever.

    I hope what it’s attached to is at least marginally intelligible.

    I think it’s pretty funny.
    Speaking of pretty funny, my daughter sent me this existential cat video the other day.

    You suck down the religious gobbledygook readily enough. Don’t pretend you’re a holdout for intelligible.
