Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

“woke” is the new caravan.

This fight is for everything.

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

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

This really is a full service blog.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

In my day, never was longer.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Let there be snark.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The Balls

This post is in: Democratic Stupidity

Every time I read these ham-handed attacks, I am flabbergasted:

Washington, DC, Sep. 10 (UPI) — Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said more than a dozen times Friday that President Bush had lied to the American public.

“It has become crystal clear that the president has lied to the American public about his military service,” McAuliffe said.

“What were they covering up?” he added. “This White House makes the Nixon White House look like it was open, honest and trustworthy.”

But even as he launched the DNC’s third day of accusations that the president was untruthful about whether he fulfilled his duties in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, McAuliffe said the he called the president a liar only reluctantly.

“This is painful for me to have to sit here — stand here today and to say the president of the United States lied,” he said.

“But you know what? I’m not doing this for me. I’m not doing this for the Democratic Party. I’m doing this for every American whose life has been adversely affected” by the Bush administration.

All I have to say about military service. Bill Clinton

I hope they keep getting more and more strident and obnoxious. I predict the polls will go 3-4 more points towards Bush in the next few days.

    Poor Terry. The pain he goes through, just ’cause he loves us so much. He’s so brave.

    Yeah, poor Terry. Seems like his “Messiah” complex is beginning to be too much for him to bear…
