Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

I was promised a recession.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Please don’t feed the bears.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Long day. Work stuff, then stopped by Team Kendra HQ in Morgantown. I got there when it was not open, and it was all grey and industrial and blah so I went back later with some mums, some water, a couple dozen apples, some bananas, grapes, and other stuff.

Twenty days to go. What are you doing to take back our country?

Also, if you are so inclined, they can still use the cash:

Goal Thermometer

If we get a couple hundred in the kitty I will hunt down Steve and post a picture of him. See what I did there? Kitty. Steve.

I think I am delerious.

    The flowers were a great idea! I would have killed for healthy food the 10 days I spent in Iowa for Obama before the caucus on Jan 3, 2008. All those normally awesome foods like pizza and cookies and junk food got really old really fast. I still remember the day someone dropped off lasagna and salad.

    New ETA on the site upgrade? The last date mentioned has come and gone.

    Slowly and creakily, the current site iteration is becoming a lesson in entropy.

    James O’Keefe and Project Veritas embedded a mole in Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D) campaign. They’ve released video which shows that Claire McCaskill is a Democrat.

    The transcript of the press call with Claire McCaskill’s campaign manager:

    “…So this is really a question for Josh Hawley, what did he know, when did he know it?”

    Don McGahn is out. Today was his last day.

    Did we know this already? The news and “news” comes at such a pace, I truly can’t keep up or even know what I know.

    Which I’m sure is part of the Master
    Plan.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Not news he was leaving – it was already reported, and he was only in it until Kavanaugh got through. Perhaps a little earlier than expected – but kind of small potatoes at this point.

    So I spent a couple hours in a bar writing GOTV postcards w/ the younglings who run a local Democratic Township org. It had been mostly dead before they revived it. They were activated by Wilbur’s campaign, are working hard to elect Dems up & down the ballot—including McCaskill, so there’s at least one good thing to come from that mess. Definitely a different crowd from my Indivisible folks but we are all in the same team & in the same fight for our lives.

    As for canines, I’ve been saying for over a year that I’ll be looking to adopt a new pooch if the D’s take the House. I think it will happen & am working hard to make it so.

    I am now off to watch a taped soccer game between the US & Canadian women’s teams. Goodnight everyone.

    I meant to add earlier that it was very nice of you, John, to take them some flowers and water and healthy food. Great idea, since the two Democratic HQs I’ve worked in seem to always have a lot of cookies and coffee and doughnuts but not much fruit.

    Just got home from the local campaign HQ for the Democrats. While we put stamps on hundreds of GOTV postcards, there were about 15-20 phone bankers getting orientation and starting to make calls.

    The office vibe felt purposeful rather than frantic, which seemed like a good sign.

    I would like to be able to give quick positive feedback to a comment. My favorite D&D discussion website allows you to give XP for a post (because it’s D&D) or laugh with a post if it’s funny. You can’t down vote anyone.

    Hey John – I’m writing and sending post cards for Kendra. By coincidence, I asked PostCardsPatriots for whichever candidate needed the most support, and was given hers. Little things like this makes the world more comfortably smaller. Nice with the flowers and fresh produce!

    I have to say, I’m with you on nested comments, but I wouldn’t mind being able to down-arrow eemom for going berserk on a harmless commenter.
