Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

“They all knew.”

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

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

When we show up, we win.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

So very ready.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The lights are all blinking red.

commenter gbear says:

Best kept secret on Balloon Juice is that there’s a Twin Cities meetup at Shamrocks Grille at 995 West 7th Street in St. Paul tomorrow at 5:00pm. So far there are two of us confirmed to be there, and I’m not telling you who the other person is. It’s been popping up in various threads for the last few days but it appears to be a sleeper. Be part of a select few and have one of the best burgers in town.

That comment was last night, so it’s today.

Minnesota meetups are fun-I’ve been to one-so be part of the “select few”

    @gbear: Annie Laurie gets to buy, since she gets the award for most blatant bigfooting of exactly the same topic in just 10 minutes.
