Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

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

When I was faster i was always behind.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

He really is that stupid.

People are complicated. Love is not.

When we show up, we win.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

I don’t think we have highlighted this illustration yet. I was holding off while trying to find attribution. Unsuccessful so far…I’m sure one of you will correct that Thank you Mag!

I’m so tired of this administration.

    We have a country where 40% of voting age adults are just plain shitty people. Period. They will vote for an ignorant, sexually deviant criminal so they don’t have to pay their goddamn taxes. These are low-life vermin and our country is full of them. That makes me very sad.

    And Chris Hayes had Mark Sanford on – who refused to say that trump is a racist, nor admit to the horrors at the border and instead when down the route of “we have a problem with the deficit”.

    All republicans are the same – this guy (who should never have been in congress) – lost his seat because of trump and still will not call him out.

    SURPRISE! A special guest dropped in to the @ObamaFoundation today to share some words of wisdom with a few of our Obama Youth Jobs Corps interns. Their reactions are priceless #OYJC

    @debbie: I like visiting Chicago but I don’t want to live there again—especially not in winter! Until a couple more years of climate change, then it will be balmy.

    I believe the artist is Tom Garrahan aka righthandedleftyartist. Someone cropped out his copyright. He recently reposted his 2018 picture on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz68kvQgtko/

    And Chris Hayes had Mark Sanford on – who refused to say that trump is a racist, nor admit to the horrors at the border and instead when down the route of “we have a problem with the deficit”.

    And when confronted by Hayes with the plain fact that Republicans have exploded the deficit when they are in charge and howled about it when Dems are in charge, he smirked about “that’s politics” and lied about both sides.

    Asshole. Supposedly he’s considering primarying Trump. Rooting for injuries.

    On the last leg of my extended trip back to my Maine island home. I have a lot to carry–including three heavy cats–a long way up and down gullies through the woods to the house, and the weather report is for torrential rain and thunderstorms. HOWEVER, I’m staying with longtime friends who have Fux News on all the time, so I’ll be on the 7 a.m. ferry to escape because I. Cannot. Stand. It. Another. Moment. (Yes, I am in my bedroom on a different floor; why do you ask?)
