Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

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

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

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Anyone Want Another NYC Meet-Up?

Bleg from commentor Abo Gato:

My husband and I will be in NYC next week and would love to have a BJ meetup one evening next week if you can scare up some other participants.

We come in on Monday and leave on Saturday. The only commitment we have is on Wednesday night when we go see Paul Simon and Sting perform together. We’ll be staying in mid-town. We will go in any direction to meetup…

Anybody interested / willing to volunteer to set up a meet, leave a comment below or email me at annelaurie dot verizon.net (click on my name under ‘contact’ in the right-hand column).

    @Culture of Truth:

    That’s what I saw when I got to the airport there, so I flew to London.

    Speaking of meet ups, any dates firming up for when Cole’s coming out to Colorado?

    Don’t know if this counts as an open thread, but it’s pretty freaky to see our long-awaited rainstorm headed towards us on the weather radar. It’s like what they show when Godzilla is wading towards Tokyo.

    For medium-sized groups (<10 people), Burp Castle is a quiet place to have a beer and chat.

    I’d love to come, but that’s the one night next week for which I’m committed elsewhere.
