Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

In my day, never was longer.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

This fight is for everything.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

People are complicated. Love is not.

    If anyone’s on the fence, go to the meetup. I don’t know about the Seattle folk, but the Bay Area balloon-juicers are pretty great.

    (Also, Alain must have fixed the feedly bug. This shows up in my RSS again, hooray!)

    Shoot, can’t make it. I decided I liked that 4-week crud from January and signed up for a second round (well, hopefully this one won’t go so long) and I doubt anyone wants to share it. Have fun all!

    @Bumper: Looks like there’s a garage nearby, so parking shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. I’ll try to rustle up something green balloon related.

    @Yutsano: Is the crown prince still going to be in town? Will women be allowed to drive?

    Sounds good though, I’ll shoot for 6pm.

    @Yutsano: @Mike J: ooh! I’m not very familiar with Korean food, so this should be fun! I’ll see y’all there at 6:00. Maybe I’ll remember to bring the lantern as a shout out since I don’t have any balloons, green or otherwise.

    @Major Major Major Major:
    Gotta say–the data and software people at the Roch-cha-cha Meet Up were quite pleasant, funny, and politically aware. I’m a human service type and the computer world is not supposed to mix well with the touchy-feely among us.
    Not true. We had a good time and found that we were able to communicate but then we are from Rochester and we had pets to discuss and poutine on the menu.

    Ok. I’m at Korean Bamboo in Belltown. Don’t see any other juicers. Hopefully in the right place just early???
