Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A snarling mass of vitriolic vicious jackals

It’s a tarp!

I thought we were promised Infrastructure Week

This is how realignments happen…

We Survived Breitbartpocalypse!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity.

Almost as fun as hiking the Appalachian Trail.

The revolution will be supervised.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense.

Hot Air and Ill Informed Banter

An army of rabid, anonymous commenters

I showered with Rahm and all I got was this shitty blog.

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

What fresh hell is this?

Word salad with all caps

Gastritis Broke My Calculator

No one could have predicted…

This blog is Obama’s Katrina.

Just a few bad apples.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Wetsuit optional.

Too inconsequential to be sued

Women: They Get Shit Done

We still have time to mess this up!

Even YAF alumni Jon Karl wasn’t falling for this particular okie-doke:

I was in the West Wing on the evening of January 20, 2017, talking to several incoming Trump officials as they moved into their offices. I saw no offices "filled with Obama books" and nobody mentioned "you will fail" notes. Here are photos I took at the WH that night pic.twitter.com/TUZhbO6QbN

— Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) November 19, 2019

TBH, had I worked in the Obama White House, I probably would've left a really nasty note for my Trump admin successor, which is just one of the many reasons why I never would've been hired by the Obama White House.

— Daily Trix (@DailyTrix) November 20, 2019

This is false. I left my successor a note that said “if you want advice you can talk to my fist” and then i punched a series holes in the wall that spelled out “JCPOA 4 LYFE BITCH” but then again i quit in 2013 https://t.co/1snZQV2Pby

OK folks. The auction is in 90 minutes, so I don't have time to set up a crowdfunding campaign. What I'm going to do is if anyone wants to contribute to our bid, they can paypal me the money ([email protected]), and if we don't win, I'll refund everyone back.

If we do win this auction, I'll be looking into which museum it would best be suited to donate to. Tag your faves below. #HauntedDildoAuction

Ok with regards to how the donation money will be used:

If we lose, obviously all donations will be sent back via Paypal.

Even if he is not convicted in the Senate and even if Dems pay a political price, impeaching Trump is the right thing to do because he’s a criminal who broke the laws. When everything is as broken as it is now, all you can do is do the right thing and hope for the best.
