Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We still have time to mess this up!

So very ready.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Consistently wrong since 2002

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

The Clintons Cast Electoral College Votes for Biden-Harris

by Betty Cracker|  December 14, 20202:04 pm| 271 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads, Politics

This must’ve been a somewhat satisfying exercise of their civic duty as New York State electors:

The Electoral College giveth, and the Electoral College taketh away. Take that, Emperor Tang!

Open thread.

ETA:

I believe we should abolish the Electoral College and select our president by the winner of the popular vote, same as every other office.

But while it still exists, I was proud to cast my vote in New York for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. pic.twitter.com/th9qebu9ka

Stacey Abrams: Warnock Donations

by WaterGirl|  December 14, 202010:56 am| 71 Comments

This post is in: Election 2020, Georgia Runoff Races 2020, Open Threads, Political Action, Politics

After the wonderful Georgia fundraising concert for Fair Fight, Warnock and Ossoff last night, which you can still watch this morning – Stacey Abrams has a very specific request this morning.  She is asking for donations for Raphael Warnock.  That tells me that the Republican efforts to hit Warnock hard is probably working.  Sorry I opened the door to speculation in a thread where I am promoting action.

I trust Stacey Abrams, and if Stacey Abrams says Warnock in particular needs donations, that’s good enough for me.

Let’s make Mitch McConnell irrelevant.

Raphael Warnock

39 Hours to the end of Open Enrollment

by David Anderson|  December 14, 20208:25 am| 19 Comments

This post is in: Anderson On Health Insurance

For everyone who is buying their health insurance on Healthcare.gov, you have thirty nine to forty three hours to make your selection. Open Enrollment Period (OEP) ends at midnight between December 15 and 16th local time.

Healthcare.gov sometimes gives a short extension and a “waiting in line” opportunity for people who had opened up new accounts but had not completed a choice. Do not count on these extensions.

Go make a reasonable choice. Accept that you are unlikely to make a perfect choice but that you can make a good enough choice.

If you need help, ask away in comments.
