Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

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

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

We still have time to mess this up!

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

In my day, never was longer.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Signs of Intelligent Life

This is the first thing I have seen Tom Ridge say in two years that provides hope that he is more than a brain-dead automaton:

After raising the terror alert to its second-highest level three times over the past four months because of fears of potential terror attacks, Ridge said the system needs refining.

“We worry about the credibility of the system,” he told a small group of reporters. “We want to continue to refine it because we realize it has caused some anxiety.”

Ridge said the system, based on information from various intelligence agencies, relies heavily on the intelligence that is “fairly generic.”

Thanks, Tom.

    y’know, if they’d just say, when they lower it again, something about the threat having been handled–no specifics, no dfetails, just something saying that they DID something and now we’re safe–the system would look much more useful

    And, since in quite a few cases they ARE actually doing something to eliminate the threat, it would also be more accurate.
