Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans in disarray!

“Squeaker” McCarthy

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

This fight is for everything.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Watergirl texted me today asking for proof of life and I realized I have been lacking on the updates. Time has just been flying by. I’ve eaten a remarkable amount of thai food and Mexican, and every night I treat myself to a gelato.

Other than that, just living the good life. Feeling better.

      Eating a remarkable amount of food and having gelato seems to be the kind of stuff you SHOULD be doing on a vacation.

      Be inspiring, sir, be inspiring!

      @Elizabelle: I have it on the best authority they’re doing fine too.

      @NotMax: I keep saying!! No Florida visit is complete without Cubanos and a grouper Sammie.

      And I continue on the train voyage of the damned. Now running 11 hours late. They keep us plied with food though, so it’s a tired but congenial crowd due to constant food coma.

      @mrmoshpotato: on the Amtrak California Zephyr, currently switching crew and unloading passengers in Reno NV. Heading ultimately to Colfax, CA; where due to the delay I got a hotel, and my friend from down the road in Auburn CA will retrieve me in the morning. It’s all good. Definitely a scenic way to see the country and make new friends.

      @mrmoshpotato: slow, but steady. Looks like we’re going to be going through the Donner Pass next, and I can’t even enjoy any views, it’s pitch dark out.

      Usually no cell coverage either, so about to lose service soon.

      @mrmoshpotato: Not positive I went through that without checking the train route, but yes, it was daylight until we hit the long series of tunnels. By the end of that the sun had set.

      And one of my new besties is an 84 year old  man who was going to downhill ski.

      Waiting on a late night open thread. Got a few bits ‘n’ bobs plucked from Wednesday’s newsy stew and don’t want to harsh this thread’s mellow.

      If not they’ll keep until morning. Although the timestamp on morning threads has been all over the clockface recently, so sometimes Morpheus permits nought more than sampling the morning’s volute of commentary later on.

      Have fun.  Glad you saw some Rockies.  And snow, I guess

      ETA:  We will stay in touch via email.  Happy for you being off on your adventure!
