Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

This fight is for everything.

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

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

“But what about the lurkers?”

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

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

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Second rate reporter says what?

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

A consequence of cucumbers

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

Tick Tock: Yarrow is Fine!

This post is in: Absent Friends, Open Threads

For those of you who asked in the comments and/or emailed me concerned that Yarrow was absent, I did reach out to Yarrow. And, as I said I’d do once I heard back, I am now reporting back that I’ve heard from Yarrow. Yarrow is fine. Just very busy. As you may recall he related he was dealing with/helping out with some health issues pertaining to his dad. That is taking up a lot of his time and energy. So he’s out there, doing what he has to do, and doing right by his dad. So send some good thoughts his and his dad’s way.

    It’s late here and time to turn in. Even if this thread attracts few comments, the post will be reassuring and heartening to all the regulars who have wondered about what was going on with Yarrow — thanks for the legwork, Adam, and the report.

    Good thoughts wending their way from central MA. Best wishes to you and your father.

    “Tick tock, motherfucker(s)” hasn’t been the same in Yarrow’s absence.

    Adam, I don’t know you and will likely never meet you, but you are an awesome person: professional, keenly intelligent, funny, and fair. Your posts are edifying, focused, and almost always comforting because you don’t go in for overly dramatic speculation.

    Keep up the fantastic work. I think John should double your salary!

    @West of the Rockies: 2 X $0 is still $0, but thanks for the kind words.

    And now I’m really going to bed.

    Thanks for checking, Adam.

    I think the new election results will be very uplifting for lots of us. I think the Senate is within reach, and this is the first time I’ve said that out loud on the innertubes. We have done far more donating for house candidates… there are so many of those folks, and we have so many interesting and well qualified candidates in the running.

    But I have kicked in for a few Senate candidates, in AZ, where we look to be a win, and in Nevada. So hoping hard!

    Tick Tock, motherfuckers!! Read those tea leaves and weep!!!
