Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

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

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

    A well-deserved rest. I don’t always agree (ie: Moore), but I think the blog is great. Came over during the Schaiavo affair, and I plan on sticking around.

    I too came here during the Schiavo fiasco and found your blog. Your comments are a breath of fresh air from the typical rantings of the right. Wish there were more voices like yours on both sides of the aisle.

    I find your blog to be a very intelligent airing of the views on both sides. Tabloid thinking is exactly what is wrong with the political discussions of both parties. We need thoughtful debate followed by constructive solutions, not ideological hogwash.
