Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Fight them, without becoming them!

We’re not going back!

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let’s finish the job.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

A consequence of cucumbers

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I was promised a recession.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Consistently wrong since 2002

The people have spoken…next Sunday’s Balloon Juice Ideas Festival will take place at Walker’s restaurant in Tribeca at 4 pm on Sunday November 13. I’ll figure out some way to make myself recognizable.

    sounds like it’s time to break out the top hat, monocle and cane in order to make your fashion statement Doug ;-)

    Not watching the debate, the head story on both CNN and MSNBC is about Joe Paterno and the Penn State horror story.

    I know we’ve talked about it ad nosum, but this story is just heartwrenching and disgusting. No one who see a child being harmed should take a blind eye and not go above and beyond to report and ensure the child and future children’s protection from a predator.

    Damn, football victories do not take precedent over the protection and well-being of our children…I dont’ care how many wins you have!

    A colleague of mine is at the debate. he’s a journalism student and won tickets. He gets to do a meet/greet with the candidates. He’s a young Dem so I’m looking forward to his impressions.

    This is some new definition of “win” — from opposite world, maybe? — with which I’m not familiar. It sounds like torture.

    Of all the things one could win — Powerball, a trip to Bermuda, a horse race, etc — meeting the Republican primary candidates has to rank right down there with STDs.

    Look at it this way: he’s a part time custodian and the alternative to the debate was a shift cleaning 11 bathrooms in an elementary school. I know, tossup.
