Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

The willow is too close to the house.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

So many bastards, so little time.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

More Bad news for Democratic Candidates

More good economic news today:

Stocks surged to 18-month highs, but bonds slumped on Monday as news of the fastest pickup in U.S. factory activity in 20 years reinforced prospects for a sustained U.S. economic rebound.

Gold prices closed above $400 an ounce for the first time in almost eight years as the dollar remained weak, making the safe-haven metal more affordable to big investors overseas.

In contrast, oil futures ended just below $30 a barrel, on expectations that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will leave production levels unchanged when oil ministers meet on Thursday in Vienna.

More here:

An unexpected leap in U.S. manufacturing in November suggests economic growth won’t slow as much in the fourth quarter as some analysts expected, as business activity picks up some of the slack from consumer spending.

After the Institute for Supply Management reported its best reading on factory activity in two decades and the first positive reading on employment in 37 months, economists speculated manufacturing jobs in the monthly payrolls data could turn positive as early as the November report due out this Friday.

“We may finally see jobs starting to play a role in this recovery. We can certainly count on 200,000 or so a month for next several months, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be stronger than that,” said FTN Financial chief economist Christopher Low.

I expect the Democratic attacks on Iraq to reach a fevered pitch. After all, their two legged platform of disparaging the economy and preaching doom and gloom in Iraq is now a one legged monolith, leaving the Democrats talking and walking in circles. But hey- the frontrunner has Jimmy Carter’s ear!

    And what’ll they do after July 1, 2004, when we turn over Iraq government control to the Iraqis?

    With no legs to stand on, will they levitate? Or maybe just hop around on their stumps like some Monty Python skit?
