Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

No one could have predicted…

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

    The team’s been running on fumes for a month and we got more out of Big Ben this year than we had any right to expect. He hit the same wall all rookies hit (11 games). I’m a lot happier about the next 10-15 Steeler years, though, than I would be without him.

    I think Jim nailed it: the Steelers peaked during late October and early November, and had been trending downwards ever since — toward the end of the regular season they were barely getting past some pretty mediocre opponents. And if last week the Jets have competent coaching and/or Doug Brien makes one of those two field goal attempts, the Steelers are watching this game on television. That’s not a good kind of momentum to be riding into a conference championship game.

    I don’t have a lot of respect for Bill Cowher — beneath the thrust-chin tough guy facade, he’s always struck me as somebody who’s much too much in touch with his Inner Two-Year-Old to keep a professional coaching gig. But even though I suspect this loss will sting for a while, I think Steelers fans have a lot to be proud of this team for. The future with Big Ben at the helm certainly looks bright.

    […] I am glad to see Broncs diehard Jeff Goldstein is ok. I was on the other end last year and miserable for a good while. […]
