Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Women: They Get Shit Done

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

An army of rabid, anonymous commenters

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail.

We Survived Breitbartpocalypse!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I can see Russia from this blog!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense.

Also, too.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack!

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot

This Blog Goes to 11…

Usually wrong but never in doubt.

This blog will pay for itself.

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

What fresh hell is this?

We have all the best words.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We can agree to disagree, but I’m right.

I personally stopped the public option…

Republicans in West Virginia are apparently trying to criminalize enforcement of Obamacare by shouting the magical word “nullification” at it until FREEDOM and EAGLE occurs. Republicans in West Virginia’s House of Delegates are pushing legislation that would make it a crime to enforce Obamacare in the state, according to The Charleston Gazette. The bill makes …

Rudy Giuliani is still a terrible person, just in case you forgot that fact for a sec. Rudy Giuliani went straight for the jugular Wednesday night during a private group dinner here featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker by openly questioning whether President Barack Obama “loves America.” The former New York mayor, speaking in front of …

Man, look at all those jobs that Obama isn’t killing with his failed job-killing policies! The U.S. labor market leaped forward in January, capping the greatest three-month jobs gain in 17 years and delivering the biggest wage increase since 2008. Payrolls advanced by 257,000 last month following increases in December and November that were even …

David Atkins’ take on Obama’s increasing popularity: People were willing for a long time to forgive the Bush Administration its multiple failures and corruptions because at least until Katrina they never seemed to lack for certainty and resolution. You may not have liked what Bush stood for–in fact, you might have felt it was downright …

White Millennials are pretty much done with Obama according to Gallup.  His approval rating is as bad now among them as it is among older white Americans. Rest of America seems pretty damn happy with the guy, majority approval across the board among all age groups. Also, Americans see things getting better financially and have for …

As you all are in touch politically, you are all probably aware that Holder is resigning.

Even if he is not convicted in the Senate and even if Dems pay a political price, impeaching Trump is the right thing to do because he’s a criminal who broke the laws. When everything is as broken as it is now, all you can do is do the right thing and hope for the best.
