Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Republicans do not trust women.

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

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

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

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

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.
