Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

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

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

NOT Good News for John McCain

According to a PPP poll released yesterday, Arizona conservaturds have a raging hate-boner for RINO John McCain, and the right god-bothering, anti-immigrant, gun-fondling primary opponent could pick the bitter old anger muffin off:

John McCain’s troubles with conservatives have him in a whole lot of trouble for reelection next year. Even among Republican primary voters just 41% approve of the job he’s doing to 50% who disapprove. Only 37% of primary voters say they generally support him for renomination, compared to 51% who say they would prefer someone ‘more conservative.’

[snip]

In a lot of ways this is reminiscent of the 2012 Senate race in Indiana. Richard Lugar- like McCain- had enough popularity across party lines that he was going to be pretty safe if he got into a general election. But when conservatives rooted him out of office in the primary and Democrats had a solid candidate lined up, the Democrats picked up a surprising victory. It’s unclear who will challenge McCain in the primary and what Democrat might sign up for the general but at this early stage the conditions appear somewhat Indiana-like.

Here’s hoping the AZ GOP finds its very own Richard “Squeee! Rape Babies!” Mourdock to take down McCain. Not only would that NOT be good news for McCain, it would leave a gaping hole in the lineups of the crappy Sunday poli-hack shows and leave Lindsey al-Graham flying solo as a sad little wingman.

    I do not get what drives someone like McCain. You are rich enought to not need to work via marrying into money, you are pushing 80 and have no other chances for professional advancement (ie you ain’t gettin’ another shot at President).

    Is the Senate that addictive that you keep going and going, when you could happily retire and spend time finally figuring out how many houses you own.

    i would guess that losing a primary would just make McCain even more popular on the Sunday shows. He’d have extra time in his schedule and it would add to his bonafides that he’s the last true centrist or some other nonsense. Or heck, maybe they’d just give him his own show. “mansplain with McCain”

    Bad news for John McCain is good news for the rest of the world. I can’t stand the guy. Everything about him is phony. He wasn’t a war hero, he was a totally incompetent pilot who would have been thrown out if both his father and grandfather hadn’t been well-respected admirals.

    He was a major contributor to the tragic fiasco on the elderly USS Forrestal when the flight deck was awash in burning jet fuel McCain dropped his munitions load into the burning fuel. SOP called for just getting the hell out of his plane so the enlisted heros could push it off into the sea before the bombs started going off.

    Then after McCain dropped his bomb load, he got out of the plane and ran below decks, instead of taking charge of a fire-fighting team, or grabbing a firehose, or doing anything constructive to fight the fire.

    Then McCain took advantage of his acquaintance with reporters, and flew back to Saigon with R. W. Apple, who had cadged a ride out to the still smoking aircraft carrier to report on the tragedy, “for a little R&R!” he said in his autobiography. So while the crew was attempting to bring about some order on the tragically stricken carrier, McCain was pounding back drinks on the mainland. What a hero!

    And as he ages, he gets worse, calling his (path to wealth) wife a c**t in front of news media. Despicable in every way, even worse than Newt Gingrich!

    he was a totally incompetent pilot

    Incompetent pilots are incapable of landing fighters on aircraft carriers, one of the hardest things a pilot can do.

    he got out of the plane and ran below decks, instead of taking charge of a fire-fighting team, or grabbing a firehose, or doing anything constructive to fight the fire.

    Somebody already WAS in charge of the fire fighting team, somebody who knew what they were doing. McCain did exactly as he should have and got the F out of the way.

    Actually, as any sailor who served in Naval Aviation after the Forrestal fiasco can tell you, no one really knew what they were doing fighting the fires on Forrestal.

    It was a fiasco but it did lead to better training that has, thankfully, prevented such fiasco’s from happening again for the most part.

    As for McCain. If not for his father we wouldn’t have been allowed to fly a COD delivering mail.

    He will never get over losing to Obama. John McCain, war hero, 3 term sitting US Senator, foreign policy expert, lost to a neophyte. Plus, deep down he knows that he botched the most important political decision of his life when he selected Palin.

    All McCain has left is bitterness and his ability to stick it to Obama, and he can only accomplish the latter by remaining in the Senate.

    Were he to lose, his replacement undoubtedly would be worse (last time his primary opponent was JD Hayworth, who is an ignorant asshole even for a Republican), but I would still relish his loss. It would eat away at him almost as much as losing to Obama, and McCain deserves that sort of misery.

    @Gene108:

    On the surface McCain, a longtime US Senator with a lot of power, would seem to have little in common with small town city leaders and business owners who are old, white males, retired or near retirement. However, the small town old codgers exhibit similar behaviors. They love(d) their power and will go down dying before giving it up. I’ve seen them try to throw monkey wrenches into projects, events initiated in their towns by the newer, younger town leaders over and over again. They hate change and hate that things are no longer being done their way. Bitter old farts who hate that they are no longer the big fish in their ponds.

    He was not incompetent. What he was was insubordinate, completely and totally, and nobody could really do too much about it because his daddy was King Dick Admiral of the Navy, and his grandpa had been as well! He crashed his first four planes largely by ignoring directions, instructions, warnings or criticism, and the last one (the one that earned him his trip to the Hanoi Hilton, which is a pretty brutal price to pay for being a hothead) he got shot down through deliberately disobeying orders on what and how to attack.

    As an AZ native, let me say that this is the same news McCain faced in ’10; yet he’ll be reelected for two reasons. First, he tacks hard to the right in the primary; he will campaign to the right of Palin, regardless of what he says simultaneously in DC. Second, the GOP is so devoid of competency that it cannot produce a competent rival; his primary opponent will make Ted Cruz look like Walter Mondale. Yes, the GOP hates the guy, but it is unable to no reelect him. And he’ll win the general because AZ Dems haven’t been able to get their act together in a decade.

    I think McCain decided his job was to be a foil for Obama all the way through both terms. Hello, I wouldn’t be surprised if he decided not to run since he won’t have Obama around to complain about any longer.

    it would leave a gaping hole in the lineups of the crappy Sunday poli-hack shows

    Not so sure about that. The flunkies who host the Sunday shows would probably keep booking him as if nothing had happened, and he’ll be even more available without a day job to pretend to do.

    @Suzanne:

    The Dems would have a chance. 2016 is a presidential election and Arizona does have a handful of electable Democrats. If McCain loses, it could be to a braindead dolt like Todd Akin or Mourdock. The right Democrat, with Hillary at the top of the ticket, can definitely win that race.

    Please. All Grumpy has to do is another commercial with Sheriff Joe to prove his brown-people-hating bona fides, maybe throw in a little Obamacare hate for good measure, and he’ll be back in the good graces of the mouth-breathers in nothing flat.

    @Quaker in a Basement: Stuff it, you plastered-makeup trollopy cunt! (Cunty trollop?)

    I would love, love, love, LOVE to watch McCain go down. Few politicians bug me as much as that spiteful, sore-losing, control-freaky, snotty-ass egoist. I want him to spend his twilight years raging about how much he’s lost.

    Political worms turn in the funniest ways.. I first realized how far right the GOP and its media bagmen begin to refer to McCain as “the moderate” (circa 1988). And now this..

    For some reason, Wikipedia lists Sarah Palin as a potential candidate for the Arizona Senate seat.

    Also, Gaby Giffords for Senate. Make it happen.
