Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Let’s finish the job.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Washington DC Meet-up post

Via Barbara for tonight’s meet-up in DC:

Can one of the FPs put up a post about the DC Meet up? My plan is to reserve a table at Elephant and Castle beginning at 5:15. E&C is on Pennsylvania Ave., NW between 12th and 13th Streets, across from the Old Post Office Building, now known as Trump Hotel. I will try to get there at around 5:15, and I will be wearing an orange dress. I would really like to know how many people (give or take) are planning to come so I get the right size table +2 (which I will just plan for). Thanks!

Please respond in comments so Barbara can get a decent table.

    Enjoy folks! Sorry I can’t join you all but I’ll raise a glass of wine tonight in Como. No Clooney sightings but everyone knows exactly where he lives. I hope to be able to attend the next one.

    I’ll be there, aiming for 5:30. Thank you, Barbara, for organizing. I’m wearing purple, yes, because I’m that old. Just was at Lincoln memorial, on the way to Frederick Douglass house.

    I’m a long time lurker, but I love this community and would like to meet up in real life. Unfortunately, I’m out of town this week, which is why I’m posting: to respectfully ask that this not be a one time event!

    I will be there at the start, then I have to take off for another event. I’ll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt with cars on it.

    I’m actually just a block away, but not at all sure I can make it.

    I might make it. I’m having a tiring day at work, and may need a moment of silence when I get home– but, it’s possible.

    ETA: I’ll be the guy who had a haircut yesterday.

    Have fun! You have a Grand Jury to celebrate. Woo hooo.

    Be thinking of a time in mid-September or later for another meetup.

    Cheers.

    @Caphilldcne: nice to meet you. Noisy so could not talk to everyone. You all are older than I expected (except ET). I didn’t expect a table full of my fellow Boomers. ;)
