Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

The revolution will be supervised.

When I was faster i was always behind.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

Consistently wrong since 2002

    Thanks for posting this. Could you edit Beautiful Plumage’s name and remove the unnecessary “n”. I don’t think she has mange.

    @opiejeanne: The “mange” was my error on the meetup page, which carried over when Cole copied from the announcement.

    So many thanks to Tamara and Karl for offering up their home; and to Opiejeanne and DanB for organizing this.  I am looking forward to seeing BJers in the flesh again.

    See you Tuesday!

    Wish I could attend; I live in Tumwater…

    If there are enough folks in the Oly area I would host a meet up or we could meet at a local pub.

    Sadly, can’t attend – I’m down in Portland. Us Portlanders should get together – there are a few people from Portland enough to possibly make it worthwhile?

    I would love to come!

    I’m in the Black Diamond/Maple Valley area. So this should be what, 45 minutes away from me?

    @Dan B: Great! I’ll send an email for the address. Maybe I’ll bring some pie from the Pie Goddess here in Enumclaw.

    @John S.:  I’m for separation of church and state but pie and goddesses gets my hands raised in prayer!

    Sounds nice; but I don’t have the equipment needed.  Even if I did, I wouldn’t know how to put together.

    @Big Mango: Also here in Oly. I’d be down for a meet up but would prefer outdoors during nicer weather.
