Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

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

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Their freedom requires your slavery.

…and given that the federal government is likely about to cease action on climate change and weaken business regulations across the board,

Your state elections just got even more important. You can be New York, where our water is safe and families in need will get Medicaid…

closed under a Republican governor and legislature who refused to expand medicaid under ACA, but where a Dem governor will accept the funds.

You have options to defend yourself. But you'll need to vote. And if you're in a red state, you'll need to overcome new suppression to vote.

— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 23, 2017

Now that Republicans have it, their plan is to privatize, shrink or end all of them. And they know they only have about a year to do it.

— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) January 23, 2017

Because starting this year in VA and NJ and in 2018 in states and when every House member and dozens of Senators are up, you get to respond.

    @Adrift: Badlands National Park was tweeting about climate change. The tweets just disappeared in the last hour or so. This is very bad.

    For any Philadelphia readers – I received an email from the AFL-CIO about a rally this Thursday in support of the Affordable Care Act (prompted by fact that Trump and some Republican congresscritters are coming to Philly that day to discuss their repeal plans). The rally is scheduled for 11:00 am in front of the Municipal Services Building at 1401 JFK Boulevard in Philadelphia.

    @amygdala: It’s got me quite worried. I think it will be as bad, if not worse, than I imagined.
    This isn’t even increments. He hasn’t been there a week. I can’t imagine what awaits us in week 2.

    I imagine this is almost entirely Bannon’s doing. Deadbeat Shitgibbon is not smart enough, nor disciplined enough, nor forward-looking enough to do all this on his own — perhaps not any of it. And it all seems to fit with Bannon’s desire to destroy a functional US government. One wonders how close he is to Vlad Vladimirovich.

    It would be unfortunate if Anonymous were able to find some way to fuck Bannon over bigly. Or if some Dem-sympathetic ratfucker were to decide to focus on Bannon.
