Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was promised a recession.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Come on, man.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The revolution will be supervised.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

We still have time to mess this up!

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

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

Bark louder, little dog.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Trouble in the Streets of Tulsa

Speaking of Oklahoma, a Toboggesque classic from the Wonkette dominatrix, who happens to be one of the funnest people I met at the DNC in Charlotte. She’s a lot like me- demented and sad, but social. She’s also more demanding and hornier, but those are perks in my eyes.

    That was a really, really long post. So forgive me but was the upshot, Oklahoma is secretly liberal, just no one knows it, which again forgive me, but it is the kind of wishful thinking I often hear, not upheld come election day.

    Actually I was kinda wondering if Cole and Wonkette might…. you know…. we could even write fan-fiction about it.

    My stepson, his daughter and his long time girlfriend (NO – the daughter is NOT his girlfriend ;) ) are moving the hell out of Oklahoma after living down there for the last three years. His stories about some of the people he’s encountered and the twisters he’s lived through have made me shudder in horror and wish that he’d get out of there. Finally he’s getting wise and packing up his stuff and heading up north to Montana to go live with his sister around Flathead Lake until he can get transferred to the local Wal-Mart (I wish he’d get out of there, too, but baby steps….) and get his own place. I thank God my granddaughter won’t have to go through high school in Oklahoma. She’s a smart girl who I don’t want to see be dumbed down by a bunch of conservative religious yahoos running the local school system. I think she is saved from believing that Jesus rode a dinosaur.

    @Culture of Truth: Not really. They might vote for marijuana because rednecks like to get high, but that’s not going to help Democrats get elected because half the democrats would be republicans in any sane state, and the other half are various nutcases like one might imagine a marginalized Democratic party in a state like OK to have running. And god bless people like her mother who keep smiling through it all but really, it’s pretty fucking hopeless.

    Fan fiction exists that has Hogwarts Castle getting impregnated by a tentacled monster from the nearby lake.

    ALL I’M SAYING IS…

    well, weirder fan fiction has been written.

    …

    Please don’t ask how I’m aware of this.

    Continue please John on telling us how Wonkette is kind of horny. I’m particularly interested in that part.

    ” Nobody is hornier than Cole. It’s not possible.”

    What may be interesting is the story of how Cole came to know that the Wonkette dominatrix is more demanding and hornier.
    Dud I miss that post?
