Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

After roe, women are no longer free.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Voces Fundraising: External Match + Angels, so for the Next $650, Your $50 Turns into $200!

We reached $10,000 for Voces de la Frontera overnight!

We aren’t quite there yet with the Angel match from Mousebumples, and we have a second Balloon Juice angel who has offered to match $250 for Voces de la Frontera!

So for the next $650 in donations in the comments, if you donate up to $50, your contribution is multiplied by 4.

If you donate $10, it turns into $40.  $25 turns into $100.  $50 turns into $200.  And everything in between!

Fine Print: Since we have another BJ angel, the match resets, so even if you donated yesterday you eligible for the Angel match today.

Donations matched up to $25k!

Voces de la Frontera Action

There’s more than one way to fight this SC ruling.
We need the House and the Senate and the statehouses.

    Have put a few bucks into the pot.  Passalong my thanks to the folk who’ll be doing the legwork !

    Have a relaxing weekend, fellow jackals.  Meself, will be attending election workers’ update course Saturday – Tuesday be the Newark municipal elections.

    As you may know, Newark, New Jersey, was founded by a group of Scots people, and though the life here keeps many of the good qualities of that race, local politics, though officially nonpartisan, oft resembles multigenerational Highland clan feuds.  A county Board of Elections member told us back in ’20, “You folk from Newark, if you’ve been thru city election, no rumored presidential election hassles will phase you….”
