Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Everybody saw this coming.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

We’re not going back!

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

This blog will pay for itself.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

No Justins, No Peace

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Grand Re-Opening

FacebookTweetEmail

Welcome to the newly re–designed and relocated Balloon Juice. I want to first thank Kathy Kinsley and MommaBear, who spent an ungodly amount of time getting this thing up and running. Kathy handled the transition and the design, while Momma Bear handled the graphics. ABig thanks to Rev. Markle and Rev. Chapin, who set up the server for me.

In other words, I am a bleeding idiot who doesn’t know how to put anything together, and I was lucky enough to have these decent people to help me.

If you find a bug or a problem, please note it in the comments below. Also, I intend to re-work the links to the left, and if you are not there and should be or if your link is not working or is outdated, please let me know so I can fix it.

If you use buttons for links, here is one:

Thanks, and Welcome.

    Thanks. All the credit for the re-design goes to Kathy Kinsely. I told her what I wanted, and she did it all.

    Nice place you got here, John. Now that you have comments, any bets on how long till your “pals” over at Matthew Yglesias and the Daily Kos drop by to say hello?

    Who knows? I have found that whenever many of them talk, they do more to discredit themselves than anything I could do. There are, however, some decent people at Kos. Most of the really bad trolls are at Atrios’s site. Regardless, the most odious of them refuse to even come here because my ‘right wingness’ so disturbs them. If they do come here it will be to selectively quote something I have taken so that they make use it out of context to call me a racist.

    Really nice site. I’m grateful to the indispensible susanna cornett for pointing it out.

    We like the new site too. We just found you today because you mentioned us and some of your readers have come over to read us. You may be right-wing on many issues, but it seems you oppose the drug war. So do we. We hope we can be friends sometimes and cordial adversaries on those other occasions.
