Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

When I was faster i was always behind.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Optimism opens the door to great things.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

He really is that stupid.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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.

    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.
