Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

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

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

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

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

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Good thing it was a slow news day since we were having all these site problems.

*** Update ***

I was actually in bed and realized that I forgot the nightly Rosie picture:

Not that it matters because this thread is dead.

    Guess the Ariane Grande engagement announcement and terrible air quality in Seattle bumped the latest Omarosa tape release out of the headlines.

    Just delightful to wake up to good news, Cohen & Manafort, as opposed to stomach-churning mornings as IlNonno says “wtf they doing now?”. Just gave to ActBlue again, and really want to see Pence and Wilbur Ross up next.

    Is Rosie familiar with pool noodles? That croc downstairs has set a pretty high bar in the critter photo department…

    OK, dog thread. I went to the dentist this afternoon and got three small cavities filled. When I arrived home with a very numb mouth my two year old Lab-Heeler mix, Max, immediately spotted that there was something wrong with me. I don’t know if there was a smell from the novocain or just that my mouth was half paralyzed. He had to come over and smell my face. Apparently he decided I wasn’t going to die and then he wanted to play fetch.
