Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Innocent people do not delay justice.

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

He really is that stupid.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

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

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

In after Baud. Damn.

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

Also via TalkLeft, this editorial talking about the prejudicial value of mugshots:

Mug shots are more than just embarrassing photos. They are potentially prejudicial pieces of evidence.

When I was a prosecutor, I often tried to figure out a way
