Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

“woke” is the new caravan.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

No one could have predicted…

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

White supremacy is terrorism.

How stupid are these people?

Excellent

I shoveled for an hour, making a path through the 2 feet of snow to my car, at which point I started to dig my car out. After I got one shovelful out of the way, the snowplow came and plowed me in deeper than I was before. I threw my shovel at them and I went inside.

Fortunately, this pictured really cheered me up.

    I like hearing about the snow. . . because I am completely away from it. In fact, we have hardly had a winter in the Pacific Northwest. Flowers are actually in bloom, now.

    I usually love the snow- but this is the first winter where it has been annoying. It never accumulated, but snowed every night. Every morning, you had to go out and clean your car to get the inch or so off. I like it when it snows like this- except I was unsure if the university would be open tomorrow.

    Snow? Keep it!

    I’ll take hurricanes any time.

    My personal Mason-Dixon line is I-10, anything north of that (Houston/San Antonio, etc.) is Yankee and means cold to me.
