Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

This fight is for everything.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

I was promised a recession.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Come on, man.

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

Lawyering Up

And you thought the 2000 election was fun. Hold on to your hats, folks:

Two Arizona voters on Wednesday filed the first Democratic challenge to independent Ralph Nader’s bid to get on a state’s November presidential ballot.

The Democrats’ lawsuit alleged that more than 70 percent of the 21,500 petition signatures filed on behalf of Nader are invalid. Nader needs 14,694 valid signatures to get on the Arizona ballot.

Democrats Dorothy Schultz and Betty Elizabeth Hughes alleged that some of the people who circulated petitions for Nader didn’t meet residency requirements and other qualifications.

Three of the petition circulators are prohibited from gathering signatures because they are convicted felons, the lawsuit said.

“If (Nader) is going to be on the ballot, it has to be in a legitimate way,” said Arizona Democratic Chairman Jim Pederson.

The Arizona Democratic Party, which under state law can’t file the challenge in its name, said it supports the lawsuit.

We’ll file this under “Letting Every Vote Count.”

    Anybody know if similiar laws were in effect in places where ACT was active?

    Wouldn’t it be a shame if John Kerry couldn’t get on the ballot b/c of the sort of thing his supporters are accusing Nader of?

    Wait ’til that (D)party-hired felon knocks on your door to ask ‘qualifying questions’ in their ‘voter registration’ drive.

    Hey, if he makes it past the low-trajectory lawn mortar and the claymore welcome-mat/fragmentation mine, I’ll be happy to answer any question his carcass chooses to pose.

    No, file this under “Rule of Law.”

    Obviously an unfamiliar concept to the GOP–believers, after all, that it’s “inherent in the President to set aside the law.”

    Beautiful.
