Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

He really is that stupid.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Everybody saw this coming.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

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

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

    Thought this was a great perspective you can pass along to your Kamala isn’t ready friends (I have one unfortunately – still voting for her – but says that every time we talk about it)

    Look at this photo: @VP She’s the only female in the room. The only person of color at the table. She’s at the table. I’ve been that person. As has every professional and working woman over the age of 50+. She had to work twice as hard; Trust that. She is ready. #HarrisWalz2024 https://t.co/d0xUTeMawy

    @TaMara:

    still voting for her

     

    That’s the most important thing. Feelings don’t matter.

    For decades, the South has been written off as a labor wasteland — a place where employers flock to if they’re looking to skirt unions — but an April UAW vote in Chattanooga shows a change is on the way, writes Billy Dycus of the @tnaflcio.

    Postcards to Swing States (NC):

    194 to go!  Only took about fifteen minutes, but my hand started cramping up because I was trying so hard to print legibly.  But I got this!

    I forgot who recommended the school bus stamps, but thank you!  They are so cute and appropriate now that Coach is on the ticket.

    ‘Tis a pity.

    September 2, 2024 at 2:38 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

    “A Pennsylvania judge has determined that three 2020 election deniers must pay nearly $1 million in fees as the result of a years-long legal dispute with state officials over voting equipment used during the last presidential race,“ CNN reports.

    “Recommendations from the judge, who was appointed to serve as a special master overseeing the case, attach a dollar figure to sanctions previously imposed by the state’s Supreme Court against two Republican county commissioners and their attorney for allowing an outside firm to examine voting equipment after the 2020 election – despite a court order prohibiting them to do so.”

    “To not see Donald Trump on the campaign trail seems like a real unforced error. If you want to stand with Labor, you show up on Labor Day. You contrast that with what we’re seeing from the Harris campaign which is a vert intentional roll out.” https://t.co/PovaMxLooe

    As a 40-year labor attorney, the PRO Act is a game changer in terms of giving unions the tools to aggressively organize workers. Republicans will fight against it as aggressively as possible because of how it will tilt organizing in favor of unions

    Gwen Moore riffing on Tim’s gutter video was a treasure. And Gov. Evers called him Tom one time. Tim was, as usual, perfect in his lines.

    Tim really knows how to speak effectively to groups like this. He is getting lots of thumbs up on X/fkaTwitter.

    @Ishiyama: lol, Evers. Goes to show that not everyone in education has good public speaking skills.

    I love as my governor, but I’m thrilled to have Walz on the ticket. Seems perfect for this moment.

    @rikyrah: From the quotation he’s criticizing: “Democrats pandering to Black people.” Like they are two separate groups. Democrats, a lot of them, are Black people. To me it felt very revealing of his own attitudes — as if Black people would never be part of the game; as if they could only ever be outsiders to power.
