Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We will not go back.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

… gradually, and then suddenly.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

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

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

Kudos To Dan Drezner

Congratulations to Dan Drezner, whose response to Matt Yglesias’s idiotic postings on the Bush visit to Baghdad were far classier than mine, but managed to essentially say the same thing. I am not apologizing for my postings- they were and are spot-on and deserved, but it is nice to see Dan can be a touch more patient than I can be in these situations.

    MATTHEW YGLESIAS: BUSH IRAQ VISIT = BAD

    Go look at these two childish posts from Matthew Yglesias. About as transparently whiny as you would expect from someone so blinded by partisan politics that he wouldn’t know good from bad if it kicked him in the face. Dictionary.com…

    Beating the left is too easy

    Daniel Drezner takes Matthew Yglesias to task for the insipid complaining about Bush’s visit to Iraq. found at John Cole’s site, which also does a pretty fine job of dragging the idea of “leftist intellectualism” through the mud….
