Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

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

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

Be a wild strawberry.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Let me file that under fuck it.

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

The Left Coast

Here is the entire list of candidates for the run-off election in California. What a bloody mess.

It appears that a Willie Brown, Jr. is running. Is that Willie Brown’s son (you know which Willie Brown I mean- clearly, every Willie Brown, Jr. is the son of some Willie Brown).

(via Tacitus)

*** Update ***

Andrew Lazarus points out that I am illiterate fool, and that Willie Brown, Jr. is running for the state Senate.

    You misread the list. Willie Brown Jr has taken out papers for the 3rd State Senate District. Several offices are in the one table.

    This list is not complete. The deadline is the 9th, I believe, and not all of the people listed will necessarily file.

    The governor part of things is a “recall election.” There’s only about 90 names with “governor” next to them. I don’t know whether being on that list mean they already paid the $3500 or not, but I’d doubt it.

    The one name definitely on the list for Governor is Gary Coleman of small angry black child actor fame. One wonders if his campaign slogan will be “Whatchu Talkin’ Bout, Davis?” I’d vote for him.

    I understand the number of persons who have taken out papers is about 400 now. (Not all will submit them.)
