Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

So many bastards, so little time.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

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

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Open Thread: Balloon Juice Thanksgiving 3 at 6pm

Happy Thanksgiving!

In case you missed it, the practice session this morning unexpectedly turned into a delightful zoom!  The first official get-together at 10 was a great success.  Imm was a spectacular host!  For a minute, I learned the correct pronunciation of his name, and now I’ve forgotten it already.

John Cole stopped by for a nice chat, which he will do for all of them.

The 2pm get-together was hosted by JaySinWA.  Great conversation, wide-ranging, with maybe 60 people, no more than 40 at once.

The next one starts in 30 minutes – I will put up these open threads half an hour before the next one starts.  I already have them scheduled, so I won’t forget.

Info on all the Get-Togethers is here:

Thanksgiving at Balloon Juice – 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm Eastern

    I need to go do family things now but I’m still hoping I’ll make the 2200/10pm call.

    I’d love to be with you but dinner is like 10 minutes from being served. I’ll try the 10 o’clock. Just finished a Zoom with my soon to be daughter in law and her mom and sister. They both live on Maui. It does make a New Englander a little envious to hear. “Well, I’ll make some more coffee, then I think I’ll go for a walk on the beach and a swim.”

    Really enjoyed it, but had to bail because my daughter got a bloody nose.

    It’s a winter thing >_<
