Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Let’s finish the job.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The revolution will be supervised.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

T R E 4 5 O N

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let there be snark.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

You have to read this Donovan McNabb interview to truly appreciate what a team killer Terrell Owens really is.

    I have a lot of respect for Donovan McNabb and what he has accomplished. T.O. going to Denver is a great thing for the Eagles, and will be a great thing for Jake. Let those two pathetic ego’s battle it out and drag down a half-way decent Broncos team instead of Super Bowl capable teams.

    I’m a Niners fan. I’d rather be 4-12 without TO than in the playoffs with TO. He’s a disgrace.

    When he implied Jeff Garcia is gay he proved what a complete a-hole he is. That, of course, was only one of many, many times he proved it. The old Niners won with class. The TO Niners were a circus, just like the Eagles.

    It’s always got to be all about TO. What a pathetic creature.

    Lines: TO and Jake the Snake will do just fine, until the end of TO’s first season with the Broncos.

    After that, TO will start in on how Jake can’t do anything right and that the team isn’t supporting TO, and that TO has to do everything.

    Nah, TO will call out Jake “the Fake’s” reality long before the end of the season. The sideline yelling will make for quality family friendly TV all season long.

    See, the problem is that I went to school with Jake, I predicted their loss with precision. Jake doesn’t care who he throws the ball to, he just wants the credit for the throw.

    TO will want to be the ONLY receiver out there, so its going to be a massive arm waving until he learns how to fly.

    Meanwhile, here in Philly, where we consistently destroy our own star players because we’re just mean like that, the cover of the Daily News reads “Would You Like Cork With That Whine?” (or something close to that). The Daily News’ Sam Donellon also slams McNabb here:

    Jokes aside, he has allowed Owens and his few locker-room comrades to redefine his image to some from winner to whiner, from a man willing to fight through excruciating pain to a man unwilling to fight, period.
    …
    McNabb said it was all “stuff leading into a direction that no one really had an answer for. Maybe people can learn from it and be able to eliminate that before it even happens.”

    Yeah, people. Starting with him. No more of this Charlie Brown stuff, “Why is everybody always picking on me?” T.O. is gone. So is Freddie. Many of those who booed you on draft day have issued their mea culpas a hundred times over.

    You really want us to believe you are the guy you say you are? Then lose that big boulder on your shoulder. The sooner the better.

    Because it’s dragging you down.

    OUCH! I’m originally from NY, where we do this kind of slamming our own players all the time, but, serioulsy, Philly has got it down to an art form!!!!

    When the whole TO thing went down, I told all of my Eagles fan friends, “McNabb is soooo fucked.”

    “Why? Now he doesn’t have to deal with that asshole,” they’d reply. And I would explain that now he had to have all of the focus on him from the Philly press, and they will eat him alive, bringing up how his Superbowl choke over and over and questioning his leaderhsip ability all season. Because, unless the Eagles find another star receiver for him, you’re not gonna see a 16-2 season for a long time.

    Oh, and don’t forget the players – they’s question him, too. Example:

    Former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas is employed as the team’s ambassador, but his comments yesterday on WIP-AM (610) were far from diplomatic.

    Speaking on the station’s morning show, Douglas spread the blame for the team’s disappointing 6-10 season, but he specifically questioned the leadership of quarterback Donovan McNabb.

    “The thing that Donovan needs – it’s been proven, especially this year – he needs other people to lead,” Douglas said. “He’s not a leader. He doesn’t want to lead. He is the leader on the field as a quarterback; he isn’t a team leader. He needs a good supporting cast.”

    I hope the Broncos do sign TO. By the way- I’m a long time Charger fan.

    Striking that McNabb’s folks tried to reach out to T.O. without success.

    I have to say the whole “black on black crime” thing about the Brett Favre comments was a bit ridiculous. Especially since the McNabbs mistook the context of the statement.

    And as much of a jerk as TO is, if he goes to the Broncos and they win the Superbowl next year none of the scenarios of doom and gloom will come to fruition. At the end of the day talent and performance on the field trump just about everything in football. And no one is denying how good TO is.

    When TO’s ego tries to fit on the same field as Jake’s, there are going to be fireworks. When TO doesn’t get the ball every other down (or more often) he’s going to get pissed and start playing like a spoiled child. Thats not going to be a long term winning solution for Denver.

    Besides, TO can’t catch something that is intercepted because Jake throws like a girl.

    Look, I live about 10 mins from Philly. I’m a big Eagles Fan, and an even bigger McNabb fan, but his black-on-black crime statement is a little ridiculous.

    Though it did make me laugh.

    As much as I’ve rooted for the Eagles and McNabb, I agree that his comments were a little much, and coming when they did, did sound like whining.

    McNabb and the Eagles are now on the clock. They better be in the playoffs next year or there will be hell to pay in Philly. The Philly fans have very little patience and the Super Bowl will be a distant memory come December 06.
