Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

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

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Wait, what?

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

This really is a full service blog.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

In my day, never was longer.

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

    Reposting from below which is probably now a dead thread.

     

    Great news from me. After all the upheaval after Mum’s death we have moved house. We are now in a delightful fully refurbished rental, 2 bed bungalow in Morecambe which after the four story Georgian terrace is a blessing. No stairs!The kitchen is HUGE and beautiful and I can’t wait to start cooking and baking in it. My family have been absolute troopers getting Mum’s house cleared and us moved. They have gone above and beyond to get us settled and nothing is too much trouble for them. Husband is working every day as a TA for Autistic children. Only downside is that the school is 22 miles away which means a two hour round trip for me in the morning dropping him off and then the same in the afternoon picking him up. (These are small country roads not motorways you understand). It should get easier once Mum’s estate is settled and he can buy a moped and commute himself (and I won’t have to get up at 6am.) Still things are getting better every day.

    I watched the entire news report and didn’t see the tornado.  I was expecting to see the funnel cloud looming in the distance through that big window.

    Woe is me! Alack and a lack-a-day! Liverpool could only draw 1-1 with visitors Napoli, and must now get at least one point in their last Champions League group at Red Bull Salzburg to go on to theknockout stage.

    I went back to bed to ice the knee and keep it elevated this afternoon, and the power was twitchy and blinky for quite a while. We could hear the wind up on the ridgetops, and I’m sure it was limbs hitting the lines causing the grid to be, hm, unreliable. But it never went off, the generator never came on.

     

    And since we woke up this morning the well pump has been online steadily, so hurray. Having a Gin & Tonic before dinner. Not doing anything fancy for the Thanksgiving except being thankful for good friends, for being warm and well fed, puppies and kitties, etc. And you all.

     

    And Cole: Why ISN’T Guliana in jail !???!??

    @J R in WV: Um, where is the pump? Might be a good idea to trip the breaker while someone investigates, no?
