Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The willow is too close to the house.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

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

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

“They all knew.”

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

People are weird.

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

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Re-posting because I didn’t get a feel for whether postcard peeps want a postcard post on Tuesday evening or if you are all happy doing postcards without that.  So if you’re one of the postcard peeps, chime in and let me know one way or another.  thanks.

Postcards for Mayor in Jacksonville?

Question for the BJ postcard peeps:

MazeDancer has addresses for the mayoral race in Jacksonville Florida.  Is anyone interested in writing postcards?

Is anyone interested in a Tuesday evening postcard post? Let us know in the comments.

The race is neck-and-neck, separated by only one point. 5% of voters are undecided, margin of error is 3.8%.

To get addresses and further information about this postcard campaign, go to Postcard Patriots.

Donna Deegan is ahead by 9 points.

And DeSantis is bringing in the dark money.  No surprise there!

Beautiful postcards by MazeDancer, of course.

    I’m interested, and I think I can do Tuesday. But I have a bunch of questions, haha.

    1. Are we waiting until then to start mailing?
    2. Should we contact MazeDancer/Postcard Patriots for addresses? (if yes, maybe reaffirm how to get addresses from her for newer postcarders)
    3. Do we have any talking points for postcards? (if no, would others appreciate that, if I put anything together to share?) 
    4. I’m guessing no last day to mail is set yet, is there?

    Thanks!

    @Mousebumples: I will probably end up posting this again tomorrow since almost no one is seeing it tonight.

    The answer to #2 was up top, but I just bolded it so it stands out more.

    Yes, MazeDancer will be the contact for this one, but I’ll get the answer to #1, 3, and 4 and add them to the post.

    need to get more postcards….

    I hope that typo in the “healthy neighborhoods” postcard gets fixed.

    Everyone needs a proofreader!

    @WaterGirl: Sounds good, thanks! I pointed a contact to Postcard Patriots. I notice the Wisconsin race is still mentioned on the Contact page, but I’ll still reach out.

    My kids are in YMCA classes 3x per week, but I can hopefully still get some time to write after bedtimes… 😊

    Yes, get addresses at PostCard Patriots, click on my nym.

    Can mail up until May 5. Go to PO before you party.

    There are free downloads of PostCards at the site.

    @karen marie:  Clearly, I need more than a proofreader. Cannot find the typo.

    And eta – I’m out for the night since we’re off to bed soon, but I’ll touch base for addresses later this week. 😊

    @Mousebumples: Thank you!

    Read it at least 15 times. Maybe 20.

    Will change.

    I’m still good and interested in Tuesdays/Saturdays (*most weeks) for postcarding posts. Maybe with music too?

  16. 16.

    WaterGirl

    April 17, 2023 at 4:09 pm

    @Mousebumples: We can definitely have music if we do the postcarding posts.

    @CaseyL: Great that you are writing cards.

    Next question is whether you would like postcard / music threads on Tuesdays and/or Saturdays?

    Alas. Deegan is only ahead by one now.

    Red Alert!

    Hi, y’all. Just thought I should note that the typo is still on the downloadable pdf file, even though it’s been fixed on the website image.  I just noticed this, when MazeDancer asked me to make sure I had the corrected version – which I don’t, since I downloaded the pdf.

    I’m not sure if the web image is itself downloadable as anything but a webpage.  It won’t “save” as a pdf for me, but someone tech savvier than I may be able to do it

    ETA: MazeDancer just sent me a corrected pdf.  If it’s not yet on the website, I can email it to WaterGirl, who can then forward it on.

  20. 20.

    MazeDancer

    April 17, 2023 at 4:37 pm

    @CaseyL: It’s fixed. I sent you a copy.

    Changed it last night. But just changed it again.

    Apologies. Sometimes there is a ghost in the machine.

    Related – it looks like Postcards to Voters is also writing for the campaign, which gives postcarders another option (along with Postcard Patriots! See MazeDancer’s nym for the link) for those who like having a script to work off of.

    Text JOIN to 484-275-2229 or email JOIN AT tonythedemocrat.org to get started with Postcards to Voters.
