Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

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

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The revolution will be supervised.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

I am not going to watch the debates because the WVU Mountaineers take on the U. Conn Huskies at 7:30pm, and, well, a man has to have his priorities right.

The other day someone asked me if there was anything that would get me to vote for Kerry, and I responded with “A partial lobotomy.”

There is no point for me to listen to Kerry moan, whine, and lie or to listen to lopsided attacks from Schieffer about the actual state of economic affairs over the past four years. Plus, I hate domestic affairs debates. If campaigns were allowed to be blunt, the entire economic message From Bush/Cheney:

“We inherited a recession. We have fought two wars. Despite all that, the economy is rolling along at a pretty nice clip with low inflation, low unemployment, and low interest rates. The Democrats are damned liars.”

    Glad I read this post. Football = good. Listening to Bob Schiffer = bad.

    Just making shit up as we go along, like REAL “NEWS”men do…

    The Word for the Day is: “PRESS-idential Selection”. “The other day someone asked me if there was anything that would get me to vote for Kerry, and I responded with ‘A partial lobotomy.'” – John Cole It’d have to be…
