Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

He really is that stupid.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Stand up, dammit!

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

How stupid are these people?

    @Baud:   LOL.  I was wincing a tad though.

    It’s just cuz the bars and restaurants are closed down.  And lamh is modeling social distancing.  Possibly mask-wearing, this very minute.

    @Elizabelle:

    It’s probably a good thing I wasn’t around for it. Like everyone else, I’m a bit on edge right now and can’t take too much whataboutism before I blow my top.

    But I’m making chili in the Instant Pot and then we’re going to make use of our shiny new Disney+ subscription, so escapism is on the horizon.

    I don’t know if it’s gone nationwide, but here in the Southland, people wear flower leis for their graduations. You should treat yourself to something nice, because a master’s degree is a major accomplishment!

    @WaterGirl:

    Sadly, no — I had to pay out of pocket for it.

    We had an option at the beginning of the year to get it for free if we gave up our theme park passes, but I thought I would use the theme park passes more often. Whoops! ? 

  46. 46.

    Elizabelle

    May 13, 2020 at 8:47 pm

    @Mnemosyne:   Still good to choose the passes, I think.  Maybe you guys will get to be part of a “soft open”, a few times, once the Mouse gears back up.  In whatever year …

    But they should give you that Disney sub!

    I do know some real-life witches — I guess I should have checked with them first! ? ?

    (Seriously, it turns out that one of my writer friends is the sister of a well-known occult and New Age writer. It was a little freaky to find out since I used to have a few of his books when I dabbled in such things.)

    Repost from the other thread JIC

    I wish I could individually thank everyone, but there are so many of you!

    Thank ya’ll so much for the kind words…and encouragement for the past 2 years!

    I have tried my best to keep up with work, school and leisure, but I admit it was harder than it looks.

    Looking forward to having my evening free and using the rest of the quarantine time to relax and plan my next move, which may just be a move to Cali.  I can use these stay at home orders to plan my next step

    @lamh36: Moves to Cali are a great idea. We’re great out here, and the virus doesn’t have a good foothold in huge parts of the state.

    Also out mexican food is the shit. Just saying.
