Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

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

No one could have predicted…

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The lights are all blinking red.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Consistently wrong since 2002

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

    As it’s an open thread, I sure would like to see a better yard sign from the campaign. I was in the middle of buying one when my wife saw it and said she’d prefer buying one of the much better ones at Amazon. Argh!

    https://store.kamalaharris.com/?utm_source=om2024_ads_gs_240724_hvfpurchase_store_us_all_store&utm_campaign=exact&utm_medium=ads&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAApjbCfc5JLvLXiyRzM9vGRb1x0qPj&gclid=CjwKCAjwiaa2BhAiEiwAQBgyHiit1K3k1rPC44Llc5pQmdOzIh1ZAxGEjfADeSiRtpVtvaIsFkXswhoCnAAQAvD_BwE

    Upside to this whinge is that clearly the campaign is focusing on more important things. :)

    Salutations, gentlefolk !

    You may remember that, last month, I stated my plans to purchase a bunch of stamps, both postcard and letter, from the USPS.com website.  have found that I clicked wrong button or something, didn’t buy any stamps, no charges to my account… Grrrr…  But I shall walk the six blocks to the Old Main Post Office*, purchase them there, then another block to the drop box outside City Hall, put in my ballot for Ms. MacIver, future Congressperson.

    Looking forward to seeing all of you at the Pershing Square Cafe, next Saturday

    *If you like salmon-pink marble, the lobby is worth a trip

    @NotMax: ​
     A name that’s a mash-up of Henry Fielding and Oscar Wilde characters, AND echoes the site title. Well done, sir.
