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.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

He really is that stupid.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

After roe, women are no longer free.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Tick tock motherfuckers!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Moscow Mitch is speaking tonight. Let’s raise some money for the Democrat running against him, Amy McGrath. It’s a tough race but…fuck Mitch.

    Can anybody explain what the fuck this is? And why purported Democrat Andrew Yang is lending his name to it? I always suspected he was some kind of asshole, now I know for sure.

    @Gin & Tonic:

    I’m not much of a fan, but there’s nothing there to indicate that Yang is aware of the existence of that organization, much less endorsing it.

    @Gin & Tonic: From the website:

    Paid for by Articles of Unity (ArticlesOfUnity.org) and not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.

    None of them are in on this; or if any of them are, it’s not in a formal or official way.

    According to one of the replies there Yang has not signed up to be in Unity. It’s a lie.

    A sort of political fan fiction via online polling and data collection.  I suspect the data collection is the primary purpose.

    Like running for President to sell a book.  Looking at you, Ben Carson!

    Mitch’s remarks remind me of the old Hollywood joke about George Jessel, whose main activity was to deliver eulogies at Jewish funerals. At one, Jessel’s about midway through, looks down at the casket and says, “My God, I know this man!”

    I’m gonna tell you all, we do a monthly for Amy McGrath, and for M J Hegar in TX too, who flew a helicopter which was shot down. She has tats to cover some of her scars from shrapnel. Another great candidate!

    I feel bad that I can’t push up the Balloon Juice totals, but I’m not gonna wait for Doug J to make it around to someone when we’re already donating there.

    @Gin & Tonic: I made the stupid mistake of following the tweet owner. They’re nowhere near serious. I mean they’re saying John Cena supports this because of one picture with Tulsi? Riiiight…

    We would solve all our problems if we just elected an outsider and not regular politicians like Joe Biden and, let me make sure I’m reading this correctly, Donald Trump. But we need one from each side.  No, it doesn’t matter who’s on top.  No, it doesn’t matter this is completely incoherent.

    Can an abstract concept like “bipartisanship” be considered a fetish object?

    @Kropacetic:

    If its John Cena, Jesse Ventura and Andrew Yang I think it matters very much who’s on top and who’s on bottom… oh what?  You are refering to a presidential ticket?  Hrm…

    I’m always in for a “Fuck Mitch”.

    Wait, that might have come out wrong.
