Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

This really is a full service blog.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

In my day, never was longer.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Islam, The Thinking Religion

After the Columbia disaster, I asked this question:

How long before the lunatic fringe is pointing out that this is a sign from God, as the crew with the first Israeli astronaut died over Palestine, Texas?

There are numerous examples all over the place, but this one is the most fitting what I thought would come from the real morons with an ax to grind:

THERE were renewed calls for the deportation of Abu Hamza al-Masri yesterday after he said that Allah had destroyed the shuttle because it was a

    “The vast majority of Muslims are now quite disgusted by (Mr Hamza’s) sentiments.”

    Whereas 100% of decent people have been disgusted with him since the first time he opened his pie-hole.

    Which, of course, isn’t meant to imply that the vast majority of Muslims aren’t decent people, only that they should have come around to that way of thinking when he was praising Allah for Sept. 11.

    Given the many threats, physical intimidations, and grievous injuries reported, it is only lately the Muslims in Britain have begun to feel compelled, in spite of danger, to express their disgust.

    A broader sense of knowledge is required here to make any comment about what is happening in the world today, I would humbly want to express my feelings. I am a Muslim who was living in NY City back on Sept 11, my house being eight blocks and my office six blocks away from WTC. Not only hearing and seeing the first aircraft crashing the tower but even knowing it happened gives me pain and that is why I am compelled me to write this.
    Ignorance was the weapon of mass destruction there at that time, will always be anywhere anytime. Why still write words of hatred that is an outcome of the prejudice which is derived from miscommunication actually no communication since we are all condemned to have different languages? My fantasy that “the one will cry out -Stop The War- over WTC to end all this craziness
