Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

White supremacy is terrorism.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Everybody saw this coming.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

No one could have predicted…

…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.
