Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

This really is a full service blog.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Stand up, dammit!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Via TalkLeft:

A 30 second tv ad will begin airing Thursday spoofing the Nick and Norm ads of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy that push the theme that marijuana funds terrorists.

Here is the text of the ads:

In the spoof, Nick tells Norm the marijuana trade supports violence only because marijuana is illegal. “If I buy a beer, that doesn’t support terror, because beer is legal, right?” Nick asks. When Norm agrees, Nick concludes, “So what you’re saying is if we make marijuana legal and regulate it like beer, it wouldn’t support violence.”

You can view the ads here.

I have essentially stolen Jeralynn’s whole post (sorry Jeralynn- but this one was too important to hope people would click through), so make sure you do the right thing and just go visit her site to see what other things she has posted.
