Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

People are weird.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The lights are all blinking red.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Republicans in disarray!

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Charles Colson

Weird. Just the other day I asked if the Charles Colson that is featured at “Just Us” Sunday II was the Watergate Charles Colson (I had no idea, really), and the NY Times goes out and writes up a piece on him.

    Don’t get all RINO about this guy.
    He’s born again(TM) y’hear!

    I’d love to hate the Born Again (his poor mother!) Colson.

    But he is sincerely passionate about relieving the plight of people trapped in the hell of prison, and while I may not care much for the branding of his methods, I applaud the fact that he works his ass off to help the powerless. I can find nothing dishonest or self-serving about the man, a rare thing in these times.

    What a disgrace that the MSM’s anti-Nixon jihad ever deprived this fine, fine man of freedom.

    If seeing the Light did not equate in today’s US to renewal of GOP vows …

    The pardoned ex-cons who concern me more are the Abrams, MacFarlanes, Poindexters, Liddys etc. It’s one thing to pardon them but it’s another thing to re-hire and promote them.

    And some born again(TM)s who concern me more than Colson are JD Guckert T DeLay and GW Bush. Blasphemy bothers me.

    Is a secular Republican necessarily a RINO?
