Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

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

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

I don’t know if you have been reading Red State, a right leaning collaboration for which I am an editor and a frequent contributor, but you really should check the site out.

If you want to know why Iam proud to be a member of the staff, go read this piece on the Kerry speech by Tacitus, one of the founders.

    Wow, RedState didn’t like Kerry’s speech. Shocking. Here’s a guess: Democratic Underground won’t like Bush’s acceptance speech.

    Oliver,
    The difference is that the analysis on RedState is analytical and there is quite a bit of objectivity. DU is the depths of partisanship. I’m assuming you’re being facetious, and not claiming some sort of equivalency there.

    Oliver, DU? oh yes, that’s your blog. Oh well, to each their own.

    Patrick, Olie knows that. He is just trying to be funny. College freshman, they get liquer-ed up and everything is a hoot. Anyway he and his bud Duncan will have their hands full with the commercial version of DU. What was it called? hmmm.. Yes, Media doesn’t Matter. that’s it.
