Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Everybody saw this coming.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

    a couple of basic questions: When is the Dem primary?

    Can EW use money donated in the primary in a general campaign?

    I’d be more inclined if you changed your nym to “The Dougerhead”.
    I’ve been enjoying things more lately when I add “The” to the front end.

    Thanks for the reminder about donating to EW. I’ve been putting off any donations as I have to get approval through my employer’s compliance department, but it’s time to figure out the process. Nothing like a little rude comment to get me motivated.

    I can’t identify the title reference.

    When I run it through my database it just keeps turning up the same two George Thorogood lyrics:

    Gonna have a drink man, I’m gonna get gassed.

    Come on baby, have a taste with me.

    and those ain’t it. :(

    I got the title reference. I guess you have to be of an age that you were heavily into pop-radio music around 1986.
