Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

This blog will pay for itself.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

When we show up, we win.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Weird

Go read Joe Conason’s defense of himself, written in third person:

In other words, you declare that you own past was “ultra-left” without using those exact words and then call “Mighty” Joe Conason a “Big Liar” for doing the same. (Odd that you don’t argue with Conason’s statement that you give “stark, simple and demagogic” advice.)

Strangeness, indeed.

    That mean old Joe Conason calling David Horowitz an ‘ultra-leftist’. He wasn’t in the SLA, after all.

    The third person is strange though. My guess is that was a poor attempt at a joke. Or the development of megalomania.

    Apparently someone hijacked Conason’s email address. Click the link again.

    Note to people hijacking an email address: you are that person so it’s ‘I’ not ‘He’.
