Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

In my day, never was longer.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

    Thank you for reposting, AL. We haven’t heard from Big R since you announced your absence; his unrequited heart will have to wait until next time, I guess

    @schrodingers_cat: Gonzales; he seems a bit more prepared on policy, and also seems to have a better Rolodex. Either would be a vast improvement upon Charlie Baker.

    @efgoldman: Next summer, choose a weekend, and I’ll bring a fiddler (if she’s not off somewhere learning to be an astronaut).
