Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The revolution will be supervised.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

I for one am interested in what President Biden has to say.  Biden starts at the 30-minute mark.  (At least for me!)

Open thread.

    Thanking the young people for voting.  Biden called Maxwell Frost – as the youngest elected in the House.

    Voters are frustrated. A tough couple of years.  Pandemic raging, economy reeling.  Acted quickly and boldly, helped the economy – rattles off a million things the administration has done.

    Historic investments in manufacturing.

    I like that Biden is seizing this moment, even before we know what will happen with the House and the Senate.

    I loved the way he handled the questions.  Especially the stupid ones.

    @Nicole: I haven’t gotten to the questions yet, but I think Biden is winding down the speech.

    How stupid were the questions?

    Stupid questions or stupidest?

    ooh, calling on 10 people – he has a list.

    AP is up first.

    Question 1.  75% think the country is moving in the wrong direction.  what will you do differently?

    Answer: Nothing!  (I love that)

     Of course Joe took note of our fundraising impressario!

    @Nicole: I know, Biden was so gracious and good humored. You could see a few times he was thrown off — the Elon Musk question for one — and he gathered himself and answered what he could, respectfully.

    I almost rolled my eyes at the “My dead family members” recital but then I decided he might be trolling us at this point.

    Good luck in your senior year.

    Interesting that Biden mentioned seeing whether Ukraine would be willing to compromise with Russia.  But nothing about Russia being willing to compromise.  That seems odd.

    Did anyone else notice that?

    @WaterGirl: There’s always the interpretation that one can ask Ukraine and explicitly give them the lead in asserting “Hell No!”  to any compromise — while not evincing any interest in Russia’s view of the situation.  The very ambiguity of the contrary ways to interpret the statement make it interesting.

    Off topic but the last GOP Congress member in NM has finally conceded.  Yvette Herrell-R tool done.  Gabe Vasquez-D wins by about 1200 votes.  Its a newly drawn district that did its job in dumping Herrell.  Vasquez relentlessly tied her to you know who and her anti-abortion positions.

    @Parfigliano: So excited that Gabe won!
