Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

T R E 4 5 O N

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

In my day, never was longer.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

    When BJ front pagers changed the amount to $75,000, I laughed and now we are less than $1700 from that goal.
    Wahoo!!!

    OK, you got me. $25 more to get Sestak’s “Cleaning Up after These Guys” ad on the air.

    You come here asking for money for your radical Black Panther loving SEIU members, and yet you don’t offer up an NFL open thread, much less a picture of Tunch? What sort of Commie anti-Murikan are you?

    Also too, Jeebus loves you and you will burn in hell forever for your sins.

    Threw some in the pot for the cause.

    You make my life so rich
    You know you should have been some money
    Baby you’re so sweet
    You know you should have been some honey
    Well you could have been anything that you want to
    And I can tell
    The way you do the things you do

    Wow! Only a little over $800 to the new goal. If I weren’t tapped out, I’d add a little more.

    Are there any other expats out there who have been able to pay with a debit card drawing on a foreign bank account? I’m sitting here with money burning a hole in my pocket but I don’t have a US debit card anymore.

    I normally don’t contribute to these sorts of things, but hate the wingnuts and their media enablers enough — and am now employed full-time (knock on wood) and have some cash — so I bit the bullet and gave.

    Just tossed in $15 to get us that much closer.

    @R-Jud: Similar here. My bank (Wachovia) is doing the big changeover to Wells Fargo this weekend, and — well, it’s stupid and more complicated than it should be, but suffice to say, my old Visa account expired yesterday and the new one won’t kick in until tomorrow. (It is quite possible I managed to screw up the activation process.)

    Kills me, because we’re currently only $60 from the $75K goal, and I would just *love* to provide that final $60. Grrr. (I did give earlier, so my conscience is okay; now I’m just thinking how cool it would feel.)

    @tcolberg:
    I am going to assume it was my $100, and I will continue to believe it even if others prove me wrong, since Americans now have the option to ignore “facts” and “evidence” whenever we want.

    That’s a rather, um… Freudian image you have there.

    But congrats!
