Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

Let there be snark.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The lights are all blinking red.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

White supremacy is terrorism.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Republicans in disarray!

    Had a great time last time! Good people in NYC to meet up with. Have fun, I’ll be with you in spirit. IRL, I’ll be comatose in my chair after the market.

    I’ll be joining satby joining you in spirit. I’ll be home recovering from eye surgery and adhering to a complicated eye drop regimen.

    But first I will groan some more at “Jack Alfolk.”

    I basically just lurk, but am so disappointed I will miss this. I was in NYC the first week of July and returning for the first week of August and will just miss it!!! I also know exactly where you’re meeting. Have a great time and post pics!!

    Meet ups are great and all, but Notmax wouldn’t you rather take the train up to Maine? We’ll have some lobster and binge watch all the things!!! Actually we have a lot of little, indie theaters up here so we could actually go out and see some things.

    I miss NYC and wish I could be there with all of you.

    @SRW1:Actually, I could be going there by boat – PATH is closing the World Trade Center station on weekends for repairs, and giving people a free ferry ticket. So maybe will take that route, catch bus to 31st.

    Youse all can sing ‘Happy Birthday’ for me, a day late ;-) Looking forward to it!

    I plan on getting there; I have a friend’s cat to administer an evening feeding to first; but should be along shortly after that. May miss the 6pm kickoff but keep your eyes peeled for a gray-haired geezer looking around confused; 85% chance that’s me. Looking forward to it!

    Hey y’all! I plan to attend, it will be my first ever BJ meetup after a decade of so of conversing, and wanted to know what the etiquette is about bringing my partner who is running against Carolyn Maloney in NY-12 (as of now, not a loud advocate for impeachment or much else on the progressive side of things). I don’t want to sidetrack a chance for the community to meet up, but she is trying to connect with any and all of her constituents in the district.

    @Paul W.: Like jackal etiquette is even a thing! Bring Lauren! I’m bringing my homemade buttons for party favors.
