Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Republicans do not trust women.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

No one could have predicted…

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

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

I think we have talked about this before, but in case we haven’t, I would just like to express my firm belief that Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip is the greatest ice cream on the planet.

    Not being a big fan of mint, I am skeptical of your claim. Send me a gallon and I’ll be happy to do an unbiased taste test.

    They don’t sell it within 149 miles of me according to the link.

    Dove recently came out with pints of icecream. They have a Mint choc chip with a fudge swirl and it’s got a quarter inch of Dove chocolate on the top. I highly recommend it as well as their “Unconditionally Chocolate.” Chocolate Ice Cream with dark and milk chocolate chips and a fudge swirl with the choc top.

    Yeah, it’s great stuff all right. I just wish I hadn’t seen the nutrional information after I clicked on your link.

    I’ll stick to the mint chocolate chip at Theno’s Dairy (on the corner of 124th and RedWood Road, in Redmond, Washington), if it’s all the same to you.

    Mike S.- Been there, done that. The Dove ice cream is good, but Turkey Hill’s Mint Choco Chip is better.

    Now Dove’s “Unconditional Chocolate,” now that is simply sinful. And delicious.

    Gotta go with Ben & Jerry’s “One Sweet Whirled”

    Love that Cold Stone Creamery, too.

    While Turkey Hill makes a fine product, I have to cast my vote for Peachy Paterno (with Keeny Beany Chocolate running a close second). If you ever find youself visiting Penn State, go to the Creamery and check it out!

    I’ll have to take your word for it. Next time I’m back east I’ll see about trying some.

    Unfortunately I’m trying to lose a few pounds so I am stuck with Dreyer’s Slow Churned Grand Lite mint choco chip.

    Oooh, it’s available nearby, so I’ll try it. Love me some mint choco chip. Also a big fan of Stone Cold Creamery – their cheesecake is to die for.

    You know, funny, I read your post as I was eating some Breyers Mint Choc Chip. Although I’m a Turkey Hill home girl, Breyers will forever rule.
