Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

In my day, never was longer.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Consistently wrong since 2002

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

T R E 4 5 O N

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

As long as you’re calling Congresspeople, why not drop a few ameros in the kitty?

FWIW, I am giving to the DCCC because I don’t know which House candidates to give to.

    I wish I could tell you to give to Dennis McDonald, but our five-term incumbent is inexplicably invincible.

    Don’t forget governors, too. They are involved in redistricting.

    From Kos.

    Make no mistake — the GOP will make significant gains this November. I’m not trying to create false hope or wear blinders. But if we hold the House and Senate, at the cost of a few dozen Blue Dogs, it won’t just be a victory for us, but it’ll sunder the GOP. They expect to win both chambers. If we stop them, the simmering battle between the teabaggers and GOP establishment will be epic.

    That’s a battle I want to see. Pass the popcorn.

    I signed up to volunteer for Gary Peters (MI-9). Been sending donations as I’m able but a number of folks on this site convinced me to volunteer.

    @Chat Noir: Glad to hear it. MI-9 is my home district and I think Peters is a good egg. Didn’t think that district would ever elect a Democrat.

    Often campaigns will have programs that allow you to make monthly donations, deducted automatically.

    I am having the Barbara Boxer campaign take a small amount each month- over the past 6 months or so, it is barely noticeable to me, but of course adds up in the end.

    Don’t give to the DCCC! They’ll just waste it on blue dogs that don’t stand a chance. Try PCCC instead. They’ll make sure it gets to house Dems that actually vote like real Dems and could use the help.

    Once again, I have no idea why anyone listens to Kos about anything.

    I’ve ponied up twice via BJ’s candidate Blue box. I’ve also donated direct to Steve Kagan and Julie Lassa in WI, and Carol Shea-Porter in NH and Kurt Schraeder in OR.

    Money is not a great proxy for enthusiasm, but it does help me feel less helpless in the face of the clown cars full of idiot fascists that seem to be headed to elections near us.

    Baron Hill, please. He’s got a hell of a race in IN-09 and we’ve almost pulled him totally out of the Blue Dog caucus. (Voted yes on climate change, card check and HCR. Didn’t sign the letter demanding extension of the Bush tax cuts for >$250K.) This is a winnable race and Hill is becoming a better Democrat.

    Unless there’s a vote on the Bush tax cuts, there’s not a chance in hell I’m giving to the DCCC this year. If they can’t–or won’t–organize a vote like this, they aren’t worth warm spit.

    I’ve already given around $300 to individual dems; I will probably be giving more.
