Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

An almost top 10,000 blog!

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Second rate reporter says what?

Be a wild strawberry.

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

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

“Alexa, change the president.”

This chaos was totally avoidable.

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

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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.
