Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

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

In after Baud. Damn.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

The National Guard is not Batman.

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

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Let there be snark.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

“Alexa, change the president.”

    Happy New Year to you too, John! (And to Tim as well, and to all other fellow posters.)

    Any resolutions, or have you resolved to not do that?

    Happy New Year. Mr. Furious, your blog needs updating.

    Wow. Somebody noticed. Going hard at my job search over the last couple weeks. Couldn’t, in good conscience, “waste” time blogging.

    Who out there’s got a magazine that needs an art director…?
