Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

When we show up, we win.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

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

Special Angel Match – First Dibs for the Night Shift

We have a special Angel Match for the night shift because you guys didn’t have a chance at a similar daytime Angel Match last week.

Friend of the blog, Andrew will match the first 4 donations of $250 to the Four Directions Native vote effort in Virginia.

Your $250 + Andrew’s $250 = $500 which will be matched by the external donor match they found for us, for a total of $1,000!

To be matched, tell us about your donation in the comments or by email to WaterGirl.


Donate

We also have a continuation of the $500 anonymous Angel Match from earlier today that will match up to $50 per person.  (Also a 4x match.)

Our best bet for stopping the lawlessness, or at least slowing it down, is a big win in Virginia.  Early voting starts in just over 5 weeks, so we want to get the funds to Four Directions as soon as possible.

      In for $100.

      (As frequently discussed here, I grew up in Virginia and have family and friends there, so its weird sui-generis politics are still of great interest to me.)

      @Matt McIrvin: Thank you!  We are hoping that Virginia will be the beginning of showing them the door.

      By them, I do not mean your friends and family. :-)

      We are 4/5 of the way through this anonymous $500 match.
