Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Dear Kos,

Please look up post hoc ergo propter hoc. Then get back to your regularly scheduled cheerleading for the deaths of Americans.

    So I guess this could be applied to claiming that America is safer because Saddam is behind bars? Or from Bush claiming that 4 months of job growth was a result of his upper-class tax cuts?
