Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It’s possible to be a liberal firebrand without crapping on the party.

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

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This really is a full service blog.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Be a wild strawberry.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Wait, what?

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

When we show up, we win.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

This Yglesias post reminded me, once again, how little most people know about statistics (and this is not a dig at Matt- his explanation is about as clear as it comes).
