Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Bark louder, little dog.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Let there be snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

People are weird.

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

When we show up, we win.

PSA: Enroll tonight

by David Anderson|  December 19, 201610:03 am| 14 Comments

Healthcare.gov extended their enrollment period by four days for January 1st coverage. That extension ends tonight at 11:59 Pacific Time. Time to get enrolled.

There are three damn good reasons to enroll.

1) You need coverage for yourself and your family
2) Most plausible Replace plans will rely on some type of continual coverage mandate so it is time to build up a history.
3) Let’s create facts on the ground for better attacks ads in 2018 and 2020 when #2 is failure.

So go enroll today.

    Thanks from me, Richard. I’m thinking about a new job, and I’m also thinking enrolling would be good, just in case.

    Appropriate that you refer to the Republican plans as #2.

    Thanks for educating me re: health insurance and related matters. Maybe I’m a doofus, but I’ve been trying to log in for a week+ and have never succeeded. I started the 2017 application and decided to wait to see what program they would default me to (2016 policy canceled by provider). Haven’t been able to login since. I get ‘please wait’ for 45 minutes,
    then a cheerful message saying I have ‘been successfully logged out’. Never anything else, not even for a millisecond.

    Am I doing it wrong (anybody)?

    Thanks again.

    One of the small pleasures of my life, for many years, was receiving spam calls from insurance salesmen who promised they could give me a better deal than whoever we were taking from.
    The pleasure came in being able to say, “We-ell, my wife is a Fed”, and hearing them end the call rapidly.
    If only FEHB had simply been opened up to anyone, it would all have worked so much better. Insurance companies would even have still gotten a cut….

    I signed on and applied to see what I could get to replace Medicaid at the unknown date in the near future when I’ll be making too much for Medicaid. It told me…I should be getting Medicaid. Looks like I’d either have to wait for better information on my end, or…I don’t know what.

    @lol chikinburd: Yep, wait or is you want to find out what is available, go through healthsherpa.com and play around with the income calculator to get the numbers you need to see.

    @mark: I think you are doing everything right. Try to log in either today to fix your auto-assigned plan for January or tomorrow to change your plan for February.

    @mark: Not sure if it will help anything or not, but you might want to try visiting healthcare.gov in an ‘incognito’ or ‘private browsing’ window and see if it gives you the same error. It could be related to cookies stored in your browser from your started-but-incomplete application.

    O/T More on Berlin

    One person has died and several have been injured as a lorry ploughed into a Christmas market in central Berlin, police say.

    Police now say they suspect it was a deliberate attack. Video footage from the scene shows stalls knocked over and people lying injured on the ground. The market is at Breitscheidplatz, close to the Kaiser Wilhelm memorial church on the Kurfuerstendamm. A reporter for the Berliner Morgenpost described a “gruesome scene”.
    –BBC

    Seems probable it’s a copy of Nice, France.

    @KithKanan:
    I appreciate the suggestion. Gave that a try, but no joy. In a similar vein I disabled all my security stuff (NoScript, HTTPS Everywhere, etc.) in FireFox and still got nowhere. I confess I’ve sank so low I even tried InternetExplorer… which indicates an astounding level of frustration. ;]

    Thanks even so, and thanks to Richard for the reply. I will set my sights on February then…

    Well, we are enrolled in Medicaid for months to come, though our income will be higher next year, and we are hoping that Medicaid enrollment will count as “continuous coverage.”

    @Raven Onthill: yes medicaid is continuous
