Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

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

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

In my day, never was longer.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

    Thank you for the update, and I’m glad that he is out of surgery and recovering in the ICU and out of surgery.

    I have a theory that feisty people recover more quickly. I know it’s true for my dogs, so it must be true!

    I keep hoping that John will post the awesome video of his dad vacuuming and saying “oh my god!” when one of the pups jumps up on the furniture. If any of you guys ever saved a link to that video, I hope you will post it.

    I can completely hear Dad Cole’s voice as he says “oh my god!” It’s priceless.

    Many paws crossed for a quick and easy healing for Papa Cole. Wishing the family patience, relief, and peace for the recovery.

    Calling on all supernatural forces with whom I have any ‘pull’ to get the senior Mr Cole to quick and complete recovery.

    Lovey, Koda, Cleo, my John and I have been sending good thoughts to your dad. Glad to see he’s gotten through the surgery well enough. Now on to full recovery! The power of positive Jackal thoughts has been vividly demonstrated to me in the last week, so I am confident Mr. Cole will be just as good as new very soon.

    On another note, I will probably just kill myself if I have to hear “The Middle” or “Meant to Be” ever again. Everywhere I have gone lately, they are playing these same two massively irritating, bad songs.

    Best wishes for a trouble free recovery. May he lament your poor decisions for many years to come.

    Best wishes to Dad Cole!

    @JAFD: and how has your cardiac rehab been going JAFD? They’re talking about putting together another NYC meet up now that Helen isn’t in Eire anymore ?
    I can’t come, unfortunately.

    Good news! Now go schedule a massage for your mom. She’s probably extremely tense and could use some stress relief.

    Good thoughts sent for a quick recovery, and also for a peaceful evening and some much deserved rest for the whole Cole clan.

    So thankful the surgery went well!
