Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

People are weird.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

Bark louder, little dog.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Hello, a late-ish addition to the No Kings day protests. I know there may be too many pics, but so many great signs and people were there!

Everett is a blue-collar town north of Seattle; home of Funko, Boeing, and a large Navy base; it’s purplish though more to the blue end. Indivisible organized the day.

We had an excellent turnout at the courthouse- several thousand people showed up & then walked to the main thoroughfare and lined both sides of the street for over a mile 😊 It was very encouraging!  I am recovering from my first bout of Covid, so I had to skip the second part, but I’m told it was well received-lots of enthusiastic honking. I did wear my protest earrings, which always get lots of love.

Something I noticed at this protest that was different from the one’s earlier this year was that I kept seeing men in what I think of as right-winger t-shirts- “Come and Take It” with a gun pic, or “I’m not PC, I say Merry XMas and God Bless America” – but they were out carrying signs and were all super pissed off at DT.  Caused me cognitive dissonance at first, but left me hopeful!

    @Dan B: I’ll have to send in a pic of Ms. Vivian – she’s been posing very prettily on the regular. She’s a diva, in the best way :)

    @WaterGirl: Yes.  Mike’s sister’s Pixie Bob.  She was terrorizing our little boy and at a standoff with our big girl.  She had not been around other cats and is happier as an only cat

    The cat Satby had given her last summer got a liver tumor so Vivian was a good choice for Cindy, and vice versa.  It was nearly instant love.

    There’s no such thing as too many pics.
