Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

In my day, never was longer.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Petty moves from a petty man.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

Hello

Hi Everyone,

By an unexpected confluence of events, I have been invited as a guest blogger to converse with all of you. I once had a co-worker that happened to be at a VIP lounge when President Clinton walked in with his entourage. He said President Clinton was tall, had a way about him and when he shook your hand he sort of grasped your shoulder with his other hand. He looked in your eyes and had a way of interacting like you were the only one in the room. My co-worker said he saw stars in his eyes for a while and started shaking people’s hands that way, until someone told him to stop because it wasn’t “him”. Well, after more than 15 years of being out of her classroom, there’s a part of my brain that still has this weird professor worship over a teacher that taught me some pretty good “stuff”. To this day I’m still writing papers for her even if its just in my head. So here I am, as a result of still writing papers for her in my head. We all loved her and for the record I got one “A” in her class on an assignment. I think it might have even been an “A-minus”.  I only took two of her classes. For the record, I am in my mid-thirties and a healthcare professional. I use to be undocumented, which is why I am here.

I wish all of you a good evening. We’ll talk again soon.

We did it!

We raised the 25,000 for The Civics Center, and with the external matches, that gives them $60,000 for this Spring effort!

You guys rock!
