Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

People are weird.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This really is a full service blog.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

You know what I n-n-n-need.

Or maybe you don’t: this is for the metrosexual Kenyan Usurper.

    Thanks for the reminder and link. I keep intending to do this after work but life kept getting in the way. Done! for the secret moozlim (according to an email from a former friend).

    Well this fucking sucks. David Rakoff, one of my favorite This American Life contributors and Fresh Air guest passed away at 47. An immensely funny and creative talent.

    I hadn’t done my part yet this electoral season, so after consulting my bank account I threw in some greenbacks.

    @Hal: This.

    David Rakoff is an American Treasure. He will be sorely missed.

    @Bighorn Ordovican Dolomite: yep, I feel so proud for finally getting one of DougJ’s post titles, and that without looking.

    Apropos of boots, I recently discovered that the reason Ms Zagloba didn’t appreciate Spinal Tap was that she didn’t pick up on the satire. We may have to rewatch…

    When I’ve maxed out to Obama, (awfully close now) who or what organization/committee/ PAC is the best alternate recipient to help his reelection?

    @PeakVT: Love the spaceship house. I mean Rmoney leaves The Onion in tears of frustration as they simply cannot keep pace with Rmoney’s own self-parodying.
