Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Cancel the cowardly WaPo and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Let’s finish the job.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

A norm that restrains only one side really isn’t a norm – it’s a trap.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Republicans don’t trust women.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

    Last time I gave money to one of these things I ended up on a bunch of mailing lists. I got off most of them, but some people still keep spamming me.

    Given that you’re raising this kind of money, perhaps they’d listen to you if you asked for a “do not contact” option? I’m happy to donate, but can’t afford the time and aggravation of running down a bunch of idiot marketroids again.

    There you go, liberals asking for money to fund another one of their money-making money thingies, again.

    Will you be considered a bundler if we reach that target? Aren’t there new rules about investigating bundlers or something?

    Which organization is this going to? Organizing for America? DNC?

    Edit: Cole, have you upped the goal for your Elizabeth Warren Act Blue page? I know several people suggested you change that goal to 10,000 instead of 1,000.

    Yes, I do know the drill. That does not mean there is any…ahem…inappropriate relationship with the reciprocating saw.

    @JPL: I think it makes it easier to track which organizations are fundraising.

    If we all gave directly there would be no way for the candidate to say “Thanks Balloon Juice!”

    Done. Won’t be the last but our side needs all the help we can get.

    If you go through it it says it’s for President Obama not Susan Komen Foundation…OK?

    Damn you, Cole. You’re gonna have to wait, but I’ll donate. I just donated to Obama, Planned Parenthood, and the DSCC this week. Catch me in another two weeks.

    Oh, and I finally ordered a BJ Pets calendar today. Late, I know, but hey…

    I want to hurry up and donate a bundle for Obama, before Wyldepeerat shows up and gets all the glory hole.

    edit – that should be glory bunghole, if I member my ratfuckerease.

    Aw, I just gave a couple of hours ago. I’m such a sucker, what really motivates me to give is Karl Rove mocking Obama for having small donors giving small amounts.

    @jibeaux:

    That’s alright, we got 8 by 10 glossies of Mittwick bathing, eating, and humping his moneys. We will use them for practice on the pitchfork sticking range.

    @jibeaux: Yeah like that didn’t work for him last time. Rove is just pissed because he won’t get a cut of it.Assholes like him and his mocking , After his reelection I hope Obama upon meeting him give him a big ear to ear smile and a middle finger salute.

    Blitz is talking to a very surly Newt on CNN right now.

    (it’s just awful when he tries to smile – and i mean Newt. Blitz never smiles under that beard) :p

    Ha!

    I’ve suggested, partly in jest, that the long game might be privatization of the public lands, federal patents and other joint assets.

    Romney today:

    Unless there’s a valid, and legitimate, and compelling governmental purpose, I don’t know why the government owns so much of this land.
    So I haven’t studied it, what the purpose is of the land, so I don’t want to say, “Oh, I’m about to hand it over.” But where government ownership of land is designed to satisfy, let’s say, the most extreme environmentalists, from keeping a population from developing their coal, their gold, their other resources for the benefit of the state, I would find that to be unacceptable.

    As an aside, some one should tell Ann That at her age she really needs to consult a fashion aide, unless she thinks her costume still gives the GOP old white farts enormous hard-ons

    @wrb: If there’s any justice in the Universe (and an Afterlife), the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt will visit Mitt tonight and plant a boot in the crotch of his magic undergarment.

    Fuck’s sake.

    @wrb:
    The Mittster needs to read about Teapot Dome and other stories of the Harding Admin.
    He is just as stupid and ignorant as GW.
    Teddy would use the big stick on him.
    Those are our lands. As in this land is your land, this land is my land. Not this land is corporate land.
    He is a true jerk.

    @Maude:

    The Mittster needs to read about Teapot Dome and other stories of the Harding Admin.

    That’s why he needs to sell off all the public lands with the sale open to everyone, or at least to the 95% of Americans who can manage the $10,000,000 minimum bid. Plus foreign friends.

    That way no one will be able to claim that there was favoritism at play.

    Also, too: thanks for the ActBlue page; it seems to be the only way for me to donate now that I don’t have a US-based bank/ bank card anymore.

    gonna be a difficult for me to cough up the cake but I am on for a few bucks.

    On a personal note, those of you who think I am full of shit I now have proof you are wrong! I was full of piss, they took at least 3 liters out & more is still coming. I have a huge diverticulum that was holding it. The good news is that everything else was OK so I won’t need further surgery. I will have to catheterize myself regularly.

    I hear ya, I’ve had to piss many a time, lifting my leg up like a dog, to empty the piss bag strapped to my ankle. And practically camp out in the ER for when the Foley screen got gummed up with blood. Full of piss and no open holes to get rid of it. No fun.
