Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump is going to draw a dick on that dog with a sharpie, isn’t he?

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

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn – Nancy Pelosi

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

I did not have this on my fuck 2020 bingo card.

This is a big f—–g deal.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Lighten up, Francis.

The math demands it!

This blog is Obama’s Katrina.

This is how realignments happen…

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

I can’t take this shit today. I just can’t.

Let there be snark.

Reality always wins in the end.

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

Open Thread: Balloon Juice Thanksgiving 3 at 6pm

Happy Thanksgiving!

In case you missed it, the practice session this morning unexpectedly turned into a delightful zoom!  The first official get-together at 10 was a great success.  Imm was a spectacular host!  For a minute, I learned the correct pronunciation of his name, and now I’ve forgotten it already.

John Cole stopped by for a nice chat, which he will do for all of them.

The 2pm get-together was hosted by JaySinWA.  Great conversation, wide-ranging, with maybe 60 people, no more than 40 at once.

The next one starts in 30 minutes – I will put up these open threads half an hour before the next one starts.  I already have them scheduled, so I won’t forget.

Info on all the Get-Togethers is here:

Thanksgiving at Balloon Juice – 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm Eastern

    I need to go do family things now but I’m still hoping I’ll make the 2200/10pm call.

    I’d love to be with you but dinner is like 10 minutes from being served. I’ll try the 10 o’clock. Just finished a Zoom with my soon to be daughter in law and her mom and sister. They both live on Maui. It does make a New Englander a little envious to hear. “Well, I’ll make some more coffee, then I think I’ll go for a walk on the beach and a swim.”

    Really enjoyed it, but had to bail because my daughter got a bloody nose.

    It’s a winter thing >_<
