Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

This really is a full service blog.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

No one could have predicted…

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Good morning everyone,

Today we’re in my neck of the woods.

I was in DC to lobby for low income heating and energy assistance on behalf of the utility where I work. It was my 2nd trip to DC. My first is over 15 years. My first on business.

Pic 1 is at the Indonesian consulate across from my hotel. It is Dewi Saraswati, Goddess of Knowledge. I hope some of her gift on my trip.

The 2nd pic is of the Capitol building as I was walking to dinner the first night.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:

    That’s where Eric S. should have stayed if he wanted to lobby successfully.
