Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Bark louder, little dog.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Republicans do not pay their debts.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

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

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

I’m sure the New York Times will tell us that folks at Applebee’s are all making millions off Australian biotech firms by engaging in illegal insider trading, but I think Chris Collins (NY-27) could be in real political trouble after his arrest. It’s a tough district for Dems but the Democratic candidate, Nate McMurray is solid and can give Collins a fight. I don’t think this district will attract much outside money because of its Cook PVI (R + 11), so it’s a good place to kick in a buck.

We went over 1K on our last fundraiser, so you get a Benny picture!

    Ooooh, bigfooting the boss just to add insulting to injury! Me likey! (Mom’s right, BTW.) And yes, the Collins race should start getting attention….can’t believe the long list of scandals attached to Dolt45. Collins was the first rep to support Dolt45 for pres. You’re all shocked, I can tell.

    I got to greet my co-worker’s little dude this morning as he was being taken to daycare, so that brightened up my morning. I like other people’s children — they’re cute and fun to play with and I can hand them back as soon as they start misbehaving.

    If you have a taste for dumb-crime stories, the indictment is hilarious.

    He is toast. These are easy cases. And members of the Board of Directors who tip get criminally prosecuted. What a sleaze.

    @Platonailedit: Collins made the public statement that he intends to defend himself vigorously and has faith that he will be exonerated. After all, he’s a Republican, he has to like his chances.

    @Shalimar: It’s like Theranos. You’d almost think that there are people who have worked out that high flying Republicans can be easily scammed with some pseudo scientific goobly gook and the prospect of big profits.
