Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

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

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

All but one of my six of my email addresses has been hammered (spammered??) with German spam this weekend. What gives?

*** Update ***

I am not the only one.

    Those mails probably are rightwing propaganda. The Sober virus has hijacked a lot of computers, which are now sending out those spam mails.

    Btw, the addresses the mails are supposed to be from are faked, the supposed senders have no idea that somebody is sending out spam under their names.

    Wasn’t me. I haven’t been to Germany since about 1985. If you’d like I could forward you some of the U.S. spam I get.

    Don’t mention the war! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it.

    I came in to work today and it was the same thing in my inbox. I don’t even work for a blog! German spam everywhere.

    Hopefully, this won’t be followed by emails from the suffering widow of one of Bonn’s former finance ministers, who needs our urgent help in accepting a bank transfer of millions of dollars worth of recently converted Euros.

    Cordially…
