Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The lights are all blinking red.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

    Run for President. You can assemble a better team with the jackals than current occupant of the Oval office.

    I could assemble a better team with my granddaughter’s pre-K school.

    @efgoldman: a better team could be assembled by walking thru a homeless encampment and randomly picking sleeping people.
