Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

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

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

No one could have predicted…

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans do not trust women.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
