Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

Their shamelessness is their super power.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

I didn’t make a sign, I got one from a nice young couple. It said “Protect Democracy” and had upside down flags taped to it. There were a lot of people there.

More of the crowd. It was a good day. When you live in a conservative area, it’s nice to see you aren’t alone. There was lots of honking and only one truck flying Trump flags showed up.

This is the funniest sign I saw.

This guy was everywhere, I got a great picture of him at the 417 sign.

This woman was next to me. She was an older lady – there were a lot of older white people there. 

I tried to get a good picture of this guy’s donkey, but this was the best I could do.

    Thanks for posting those, WG!! That guy dressed like a clown was hilarious, he walked around waving that sign all up and down the street.

    Only one Trump truck is good. No energy for pushback to No Kings? I wish.

    @Soprano2: Just saw that this posted and I fixed the formatting just now.  That should help!  Sorry I didn’t catch it earlier.

    It’s almost like a meet-up, I feel like I know Soprano2 a little more just by seeing what her town looks like.

    Awesome! That is in fact one of the main purposes of organizing these, so I’m glad you were feeling it.

    @Soprano2: Older white people there? That would be me!

    About three-thousand people, and the concurrent Pridefest was packed. Good job, Soprano2!

    A rally like that in Missoura is something! My family came from Barton County, and that area is pretty red, as well as having a large bushwhacker contingent during the Civil War.

    #417betheone – made me look.

    Clever!

    And it just invites references to 47!  Doubly-clever!

    Great shots, thanks very much Soprano2!

    Best wishes,

    @Duane: I heard that Pridefest was packed. My hairstylist closed his salon for it! I couldn’t go to any of those events.

    @Another Scott: I thought it was stolen! People that live on Sesame Street, probably. Another mystery solved.
