Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Wait, what?

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

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

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

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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