Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Not all heroes wear capes.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Lock Her Up

Big news on the insurrection:

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, longtime chairman of the extremist group Proud Boys, was indicted on a new federal charge of seditious conspiracy with four top lieutenants on Monday. The charges expand the Justice Department’s allegations of an organized plot to unleash political violence to prevent the confirmation of President Biden’s election victory on Jan. 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol.

Tarrio, 38, was not in Washington that day, but allegedly guided the group’s activities from nearby Maryland as Proud Boys members engaged in the earliest and most aggressive attacks to confront and overwhelm police at several critical points on restricted Capitol grounds. One co-defendant, Dominic Pezzola, of Rochester, N.Y., broke through the first window of the building at 2:13 p.m. with a stolen police riot shield, authorities said.

A new 10-count superseding indictment returned Monday morning charges Tarrio, Pezzola and three other existing co-defendants — Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area, and Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia — with coordinating travel to Washington and the movements of the group around the Capitol that day. The group is also accused of plotting to foment a riot and storm Congress, action that eventually forced the evacuation of lawmakers meeting to confirm the 2020 election results.

Remember when they wanted to lock Hillary Clinton up for… being a Democrat?
