Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After roe, women are no longer free.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Come on, man.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

In after Baud. Damn.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

No one could have predicted…

We still have time to mess this up!

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Second rate reporter says what?

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Omg my husband just reminded me that once he was watching a game and I was like “WHY ARE THEY SCREAMING WHITE POWER?!!”
It was Dwight Howard. They were screaming for Dwight Howard. ?‍♀️

there’s an even more apropos story about Kevin Youkilis; the baseball-reference ID for most players is constructed from the first 5 letters of the last name followed by the first 2 of the first name, but for Youk this is… unfortunate. so they changed it

    NE Ohio. Planning yardwork today. That should be shoveling snow. Instead I will be weeding and raking leaves. The trees are budding. At the end of December!

    Have three stepkids. Two are sensible. The third isn’t . She is the only one who risked having kids in this world. The other two say “No way.

    ETA as a potential grandparent that is so sad. But gotta agree.

    Those stories are pretty funny. When I was a kid, my mom had to explain that the fans weren’t yelling “Boo!”, they were yelling “Moose!”. I’d never heard of Bill Skowron.

    We repeated this with our kids when Youkilis played. There’s another player in recent years that the cheers for him sound like boos, but I can’t think who that is.

    @opiejeanne:

    I am reminded of Springsteen fans shouting “Bruuuce!”

    By the way, there’s a jackal by that nym, who I haven’t seen here in a while. I hope everything’s okay with him.

    Years ago I was at a SF Giants game with my sister when Vida Blue was pitching for the SF Giants. I thought the fans were yelling booooo. I was getting pretty upset and asked my sister why are they booing him. She told me it’s not booo they were yelling it’s Bluuuuu they were yelling.

    @SFBayAreaGal: Also Giants had Matty and Jesus Alou on the roster and when fans chanted “Alouuuuu” it sounded like boos.

    Really, who would root for Dwight Howard? That guy has burned bridges in every town he’s played.

    I would certainly be confused if I thought people were screaming “white power” at an NBA  game.

    At Memorial stadium in the 1970s, you could hear Orioles fans cheering for Boog Powell: “Boooooooog!”

    He has had a renaissance as a role player on the Lakers. He was signed with a strict warning against any further drama and his contract is non-guaranteed.

    On a road trip in the Southwest many years ago, after noticing a sign on a country store, I went off on a soliloquy to my then-girlfriend about Chinese contributions to the settling of the Old West. The sign read:

    HU TING

    FISHING SUPPLIES

    We drove a few more miles, and she said, “You idiot. The sign was missing a letter.”

    PLAZA

    that, in its twilight, had only three letters of the middle row functioning…
