Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

This fight is for everything.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The willow is too close to the house.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Let’s shoot for Monday evening for our DC get together at 7 or 8.

I think I can only do something in Arlington reasonably near the Hilton Arlington, unfortunately. I’ll be pretty busy.

    If it’s not near a metro, then no dice unfortunately.

    It’s right next to the Ballston metro. We’re not the heppest cats in town, we want to be able to hear and see each other, and we need to cater to non-epricurean tastes (especially at that time, it will probably be drinks). I will recommend Car Pool. Two blocks east from the hotel.

    Do you mean the Hilton, Arlington in Ballston (2 blocks from the Ballston Mall) or the Hilton Garden Inn Arlington Shirlington or the Hilton Garden Inn Arlington/Courthouse Plaza. All have lots of places within an easy walk.

    If it’s at 7 or 8, that’s a time I can do. Traffic will be lighter and I’ll be out of work. Looks like about 35-40 minutes from where I live in Laurel, MD.

    If you could provide a more firm time and location this weekend, I’d appreciate it.

    I have no standards so the First Down is fine with me, but some could be afraid to step foot in the place.

    Just FYI, anyone coming in from the northeast MARC-to-Metro would need to leave the insurrection 9:30ish in time to catch the Metro at 9:42 PM in order to catch the last train home (10:30 PM). Last Metro from Ballston north leaves at 11:39 PM, so anyone driving to New Carrollton & riding from there would have to leave 11:30ish.

    Anyone planning to come down from Bawlmer area, maybe we can work a carpool to New Carrollton? I can probably fit 3 others in my auto. Post here if interested…

    I would suggest Fire Works in Arlington if it’s the Arlington Hilton in on Courthouse Rd, in the Courthouse area. Wood oven pizza and an extensive beer list. One and half blocks from the Arlington Hilton and one block from the Courthouse Metro.
