Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Everybody saw this coming.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The Announcement Thread

Two Ukraine Quilts from Quiltingfool on Sunday – One Auction / One Raffle

Let’s hear from the quilter herself!

Making quilts is my passion. Making quilts gives me purpose: I get to be creative, I get to be challenged, I get to be joyful.

Every day I read the reporting on the war in Ukraine, here on Balloon Juice and on other internet sites. From the first day this of this atrocity, I could only think about Ukrainians and how their lives changed in an instant. I am angry that this still happens – that we, the human race, haven’t evolved away from constant war and the terrible price it demands. I feel so helpless. I don’t know how to give Ukrainians, well, to all people in the world, the freedom from want and fear.

I knew I wanted to make make more than one donation quilt for Ukraine, so here are the two latest quilts – one for auction and the other for the raffle.

I thank you all, and blessings be upon you all!

Quiltingfool

Stars & Sunflowers

Quilt backing

“Slava Ukraini” and “Glory to Ukraine” are both stitched on the front.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
