Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

How stupid are these people?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

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

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

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

“They all knew.”

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

When we show up, we win.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

75% of people clapping liked the show!

No one could have predicted…

Some good news today:

Roger J. Stone Jr., a former aide and longtime friend of President Trump, was found guilty on Friday of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election in what prosecutors said was an effort to protect Mr. Trump.

Let’s try to hit our target today for the Balloon Juice House fund that is split among the seventeen most vulnerable House Dem incumbents. (You can divvy it out however you like to avoid getting on too many mailing lists.)

    Jury found him guilty on all counts.

    Including the one where Stone lied to Congress, which means trump’s official answers to Mueller’s Q&A aren’t truthful (quelle surprise), which should lead to another impeachment count.

    They’re joking about how quickly trump will pardon Stone, but I doubt it. trump hasn’t pardoned Manafort, because of the risk of compelling testimony for future trials trump *will* face.

    P.S. my hit song Stone In Jail lyrics, y’all

    I know it’s an irrelevant comment but I can immediately tell an NYT piece by the antiquated system of naming people – not Roger Stone, but Roger J. Stone Jr., as if there’d be confusion – the same way the paper insists on Vladmir V. Putin, Robert S. Mueller III, Donald J. Trump…..Roger J. Smedley Swadley Puffenstuff Hickory Rainbow Diedelus Patsy Stone.

    Can you fix the ActBlue title? It says “Baloon Juice”. (In a way, I think that’s actually an on-brand typo for this blog. Might even be some fine DougJ work.)
