Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Everybody saw this coming.

Come on, man.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Bark louder, little dog.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

I Don’t Know Either

Every now and then I turn around, look behind me, and find things like this:

I Don't Know Either

And then I slowly turn back around and pretend I didn’t see anything because mom and dad didn’t raise a total idiot.

I’m rewatching Chuck on Amazon Prime.

    I bought Chuck on Blu-ray (cheap!) a few years ago because it wasn’t on any streaming service or in reruns.

    Show still holds up.

    They were one of my Pandemic discoveries.
    There is an entire genre of YouTubers who listen and react to music.

    I love them.
    A couple of my favorites is when they discovered Aerosmith ?, and Frank Sinatra ?

    Well, woke up at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep. And of course a long day ahead of me, first at the market, then driving to Lexington for my son to put new brakes on the car. Normally I’d get them just done locally, but it will save me about $500 for him to do the work.

    Somehow I have to find time to heel in the nine irises I received yesterday, because today and tomorrow are going to be much hotter and I don’t have time to properly plant them until Monday.

    I record Joy Reid’s show. And people on Twitter talked about her facial expressions when talking to the reporter covering Dolt45 at that golf club press conference. So, I finally watched it, and I am????Joy was too thru ?

    @rikyrah: aw, hope you feel better! And that you can take it easy today. I told my son I was taking my time getting there and not to wait dinner for me. I’ll stay with them overnight and once he’s done tomorrow head back. So quick, socially distancing trip. But it’ll be nice to see them and to have new brakes on the car.

    And soap! I’m always expected to bring soap ?. One of these kids better learn to make it, because they’re pretty spoiled ?

    satby,

     

    If I was related to you, sorry…would never buy that store bought stuff ever again ?

     

    I decided a couple of years ago that I could spoil myself a little with good soap. You were a part of that.?

    After seeing the clip on BJ last night, I was thinking that Miami Vice would be the perfect pandemic show to watch, but it’s only on Hulu, so I am bummed.

    Am I right in thinking that Hulu has commercials unless you pay for some premium version of Hulu?

    @WaterGirl: Yes. And you still have to pay for that version. I have Hulu and Netflix and occasionally do a free Prime. Although right now my brother had set up Prime on my living room TV, so I’ve been using that, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

    If you do Hulu, I cannot recommend Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist enough.

    @TaMara (HFG): I think Prime lets you share Prime with one other person, right?  I have Prime, though I much prefer the Netflix interface.

    LOL on you finding those two guys adorable.  If someone tells them that, they would be mortified.
