Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

The willow is too close to the house.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Consistently wrong since 2002

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

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

Republicans do not trust women.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Call me overly optimistic, but lowering the medicare age, opening up the same options as federal workers have, stricter regulations, and a trigger should these fail seems to be a pretty good deal. I’m sure you all will take the opportunity to explain to me why I am full of it, but I’m actually kind of pleasantly surprised. Hell, the medicare thing alone I thought would never happen.

How about instead of War Bonds, we finance the war with lemonade stands?

Consider this your nightly open thread.

This is my personal hell:

plsmakeitstop

We’re going to spend the next four years chronicling this know-nothing hustler, and after that four years is up, we’ll be right back where we started, staring down the same empty road wondering how in the hell she didn’t manage to learn a damned thing in all her travels.

Here is your thread.

Also, here is a great video about Evelyn Bridges, the woman who rescued Bitsy. She was named the “Person of the Week” by her local tv station.
