Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

T R E 4 5 O N

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

Let there be snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

It’s the corruption, stupid.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

He really is that stupid.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

    Anyone want to call the bottom?

    My guess is that the Dow will stabilize in six months at the mid- 8s, with a lowpoint at 8050. This would put the US market on par with international markets that are already close to 50% off peak.

    Just in case there’s any doubt about who caused this subprime mess, Newsweek’s Jim Gross tells us, and it ain’t poor people who done it.

    Thank you Incertus. The "CRA was forcing banks to lend to the poor" screechers were getting deafening here in South Louisiana. Though another article won’t convince those fools, you provided another counterpoint from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about.

    Tom Clancy call your office:

    Russians to bail out Iceland, may get access to Keflavik AFB as a result

    But what price will the Russians demand for their bailout? A highly-placed source in Reykjavik tells Coffee House that Iceland might look kindly on requests from Russia’s military to use America’s former military base in Iceland. America closed its Naval Air Station at Keflavik Airport two years ago, handing back the Nato facility to the Icelandic government.

    Incertus, thanks for that tip. I knew there was something fishy afoot when I heard Scarborough babbling on about this topic this morning. I didn’t think I’d find out the truth about it with so little effort.

    The markets stop falling when the GOP and Wallstreet are left hanging.
