Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

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

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

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

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Shameful Display

I really don’t have anything to add to this piece discussing the shameful display of behavior during Giuliani’s testimony before the odious 9/11 commission.

Radio’s and Rudy killed those people, don’t you see? Disgusting.

    Hey, something we agree on!

    Disrupting proceedings of things like the 9-11 Commission proceedings has gotten to be a bad habit.

    I understand that family members of many of the people killed in the attack are dealing with some heavy-duty grief and with the very human tendency to indulge in “if only . . .” questioning and speculation. Maybe their presence and pressure will help keep the commission focused on finding ways to prevent a repeat or better handle one if such should occur.

    Even so, the families would do well to mind teir manners and remember that inquiries take time and aren’t going to ever be to everyone’s satisfaction.

    Too many people have forgotten about 9/11 already.

    Fricking idiots…

    I was there in NYC for the commission hearings. My brother was there on the 104th floor of WTC on September 11. The families are not stupid and realize that no one is coming back and that no one is to blame but the terrorists. The objective is to find out what was wrong with the system – honestly – and fix it so that when this happens again, communities will be ready to respond effectively. Some people at the hearings were interested in focusing on the specific things that were wrong and have them acknowledged. IMHO the Mayor’s comments that everyone involved should be treated with compassion and that there is only one group to blame and we know who that happens to be.

    I think it’s great to see something like that, even if I might not agree with them. Especially because they interrupted a real kissy-face waste-of-time comment. If it had just been some jerks chanting Shrub this, Shrub that I wouldn’t think the same.

    Welcome To America Of States United

    We are living in the bizarro world. Everything is backwards. Left is right, right is left. Up is down, down is up. Right is wrong, wrong is right. I have never seen or heard something so profound and disgusting as what read and heard about yesterday…
