Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We still have time to mess this up!

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

When we show up, we win.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

T R E 4 5 O N

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
