Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Republicans in disarray!

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

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Early Morning 2017 Open Thread: Hoping This Year Is Better

by Anne Laurie|  January 1, 20173:25 am| 169 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads

I may have stood outside my house naked last night, screaming into the sky: “End simulation! END SIMULATION!”

— John Rogers (@jonrog1) November 11, 2016

After much not-so-gentle prodding on my part, the Spousal Unit (aka, my personal Tech Expert) decided this would be a good time to decruft my laptop and update some programs. The latest version of Pale Moon is giving him fits (although, Goddess take the wheel, I’m managing okay so far) and he’s muttering about switching platforms to… something.

So if I’m not around tomorrow evening, blame it on the Trickster God’s minions in the computer industry…

I can’t believe Dec 31st, 2015 was only 10 years ago
