Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Consistently wrong since 2002

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

We’re not going back!

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

In my day, never was longer.

Spam filter went crazy

I have no idea what happened but everything went into the spam filter there for an hour. I fished them out and tried to fix it.

Update. All of the comments from the last two threads were going into the spam filter and then people who commented there continued to have everything go into the spam filter. I tried deleting those threads to stop this. I hope this is fixable. One easy fix is to comment with your same name and a different email. I tested that out. Another is to change your name slightly. Then you go into pending and once you’re approved, you’re good to go.

    No, the spam filter is functioning properly. Everything spewed out by 99.99999999999% of the commenters on this forum amounts to spam, from the gibberish vomited out by cranks like General Crackpot Fake Name, to the sociopathic lunacy that erupts from drivel geysers like eemom.

    As long as we’re complaining about crap on the internet, all day the banner ad at the top of the site has been pimping the godawful Broderite cult that wants us to be ruled by, according to their own name, an “American Select”. I just thought I’d mention how much those assholes tick me off.

    My most precious darling Judy chose Thursday October 13, 2011 to slip over to the Rainbow Bridge, on her own terms, and by her own rules. She jumped up onto the bed and snuggled up to me, and there she slept. At some point of me extracating myself from her body and going to work and my Mum getting up and checking on her she chose that moment to go to the rainbow bridge. I have no idea why, other than the fact that she was an 11 year old boxer and way older than she ought to be, she was still puppy like the day before, she frolicked in the yard with Cueball, she ate her dinner as heartily as any dog ate her dinner the night before. And yet, and yet, she knew it was time and she chose to take her leave while Gramma and Norman were visiting, in order to give me arms to grieve. There has never been a dog more perfect than Judy, a charming young lady, who always knew her manners, who was always a perfect polite boxer. I am slobbering at her loss, Cueball is beside himself with grief. Mum, Norman and I went away for the weekend after she died and her loss was out of my mind for a while, but now I get back to the house and she is not there, there is no joyous welcome, and her absence is palpable. I know that I was holding on way past the years that I was allowed to have, but damn, I would have wished for a few more days.
