Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

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

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.
