Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

In my day, never was longer.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Let’s finish the job.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

T R E 4 5 O N

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republicans in disarray!

    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.
