Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

It’s a doggy dog world.

This blog will pay for itself.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

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

This fight is for everything.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Let’s finish the job.

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 >_<
