Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

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

In after Baud. Damn.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The race for PA-18 has gotten very close (Trump won by nearly 20 points).

New public polling in PA-18 special election: 3 point lead to the GOP, but 21% (!) still undecided. Margin of error is +/- 5%. https://t.co/UVMFY7w3l8 pic.twitter.com/Ev1jLfGCjv

Dems have a great candidate, Conor Lamb. If he wins, expect more GOP retirements. This one is a longshot but it’s big, and it may be winnable. Predictions are hard, especially about the future. I just upped the goal to $7500.

    I did see that the GOP was freaked enough to want Trump to go campaign for the Repub for this seat. It seems worth investing on from our side.

    I have a pretty good track record for predictions about the past. The future, not so much.

    @Raoul:

    I always wonder if it helps when he campaigns for someone.

    I don’t love Lamb as a candidate, to be honest. He’s said that he’s not willing to support Pelosi, and he’s pro-life, and I’m suspicious of anybody who comes from a big political family.

    That said, he’s literally running against a guy who consulted on torture techniques at Abu Ghraib, so even with my reservations, the choice is pretty clear.
