Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

This fight is for everything.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

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

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Bark louder, little dog.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

“They all knew.”

Hot air and ill-informed banter

And Now For a Non-Panicky Post

I really am Henny Penny, and I know this, so bear with me as I have my public emotional breakdowns this primary season. Here is some good news:

After Hillary Clinton built a commanding advantage in the Democratic race on Super Tuesday, some liberal forces that had been more sympathetic to Bernie Sanders appear ready to line up behind Clinton with an eye to the bigger looming challenge: Donald Trump.

Though voters in dozens of states have yet to cast ballots and Sanders has amassed a significant campaign war chest on the strength of his grass-roots appeal, Democrats appear more eager than ever to close ranks at a time when Republican divisions are only deepening.

Even as Clinton was sweeping to victory in delegate-rich states Tuesday, building an advantage Sanders is increasingly unlikely to reverse, some progressive groups began to realign their messages.

MoveOn.org, which has formally endorsed Sanders, spent as much of its statement on Tuesday’s primaries warning about the threat posed by Trump as it did praising the potency of Sanders’ message.

“If Trump is the Republican standard-bearer, it will be crucial for progressives, and all Americans, to unite to defeat a man who represents the antithesis of everything our nation stands for,” said MoveOn’s executive director, Ilya Sheyman.

Good.
