Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

In my day, never was longer.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

No one could have predicted…

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Per former-&-future Seattleite Yutsano:

Looks like we are settled for Sunday January 31st at 10am. Come one come all! Could I get a post tomorrow so I can get a head count? I’ll be able to check in during the day after my appointment tomorrow morning.

Venue: The Watershed, 10104 3rd Ave NE. Menu (.pdf) at the link, and I must admit it looks delicious!

Lurkers, spouses & friends always welcome. Drop a comment below if you’re planning to be there, or send me an email (click my name in the right-hand column, or annelaurie at verizon dot net) if you have questions, and I’ll forward them to Yutsano.

    My husband and I are coming, and I will check on our daughters to see if they are coming.

    I’ll call the Watershed today and request a table for 12. Thanks to hitchhiker we should be well taken care of. I’ll check for a more accurate headcount later as well.

    And YAAAAAAAAAY!

    Is that the Bernbros meet-up, or the Hill-bot meet up?

    ok, I just saw last Thursday’s TDS with that New Yorker political reporter and he’s sitting there and can’t explain why Trump and his fans don’t like political reporters. He must not just own a mirror or a TV or know where he was at that exact moment. Comedy Central has filled an hour almost every night for over a decade pointing out why.

    whats that line about ppl not understanding something if their paycheck depends on it? I’m getting legit scared now.

    I hate it when you guys organise meet-ups that are so far away from KL. Pout.

    Meanwhile, The New York Times has endorsed Hillary for the Democratic presidential nomination. Its argument is very similar to my own: she has broader and deeper qualifications for the Oval Office than Bernie, and she’s miles ahead of those Republican wack jobs. Should I be embarrassed or proud of that?

    @Amir Khalid:

    And she is and will be more click-baity for them than Bernie. Think of the ad revenue.

    @Amir Khalid: If I ever win a big lottery, we’ll have a meet-up in KL. How do you feel about a bunch of BJers showing up on your doorstep? :) Do you have any plans to visit the States? Wherever you go, there may be some of us (We’re Everywhere! Like Pod People!) and a meetup could be arranged.

    I was a little surprised to see the NYT endorse Hillary, because they never miss a chance to trash her in their news and commentary.

    @CaseyL:
    Alas, I haven’t been to the US since the first Clinton was president. And I’m no longer really well enough to commute, let alone travel. But meeting a whole bunch of the Juicitariat sounds marvelous.

    @Amir Khalid: They also endorsed Kasich, so take that for what it’s worth.

    Does Malaysia have religious travel restrictions like most of the Middle East does? Sucks I can only go to Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan.

    January 30, 2016 at 1:10 pm

    @Yutsano:
    I’ve met American Jews in Malaysia. As far as I know there’s no restriction on Jewish people entering the country, only on Israeli nationals. You should be okay for travel to Malaysia. Malaysian passports are good for travel to any country except Israel, and a Malaysian with an Israeli entry stamp in their passport will have some ‘splainin to do.

    As if Jayson Blair and Judith Miller haven’t been insult enough.

    @Amir Khalid: Get on a plane right now! You can make it. Edited to say I’m sorry you are not well enough to travel.

    I’m curious, are you a US citizen? If so, I am embarrassed that did not realize it.

    Hope it is a good one! I have some hazy memories of the one we had back in July 2013 at Pike Brewing…was a good time! Had a couple many drinks though ;)

    @Amir Khalid: The end of your comment in #10 startled me. Why should you be ashamed if not a citizen of the US? We should be ashamed.

    @Yutsano: Has Mike J. checked in? I hope he’s there tomorrow. My husband has some questions about Washington’s caucus system and I think he’d know the answers.
