Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

I really should read my own blog.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

In my day, never was longer.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

No one could have predicted…

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

This blog will pay for itself.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

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

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

2022 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendars Are Ready to Order!

The 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice Calendars are ready to order!

Two beautiful, beloved pets.  Covers this year are dedicated to John Cole.  As beth said earlier today, none of us would be here without Cole.

Calendar A

Preview of 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar A!

Calendar B

Final Preview of 2022 Pets of Balloon Juice: Calendar B! 1

All calendar proceeds  go directly to the pet rescue.

You can click this link to order or you can order by clicking Link to Order 2022 Calendars in the sidebar.

If you have pets in the calendars and have not yet reviewed the calendars, please do so before placing your order – spreadsheets that tell you which calendar your guys are in and previews of each month are in the sidebar.

If you find a problem, corrections can still be made.  But the calendar has to be changed BEFORE you place your order with Cafe Press.  The calendars are printed on demand by Cafe Press, and there’s no way to stop an order once you place it.

If you find an issue:

  1. Notify us in this post
  2. Wait for us to let you know that it has been fixed and that the calendar page has been updated
  3. Review the calendar again to verify all is good
  4. Then place your order.

Calendars are $25 each.  Cafe Press raised the base cost of calendars this year, and you guys swore a blood oath that raising the price by $2 would not affect your purchase, so we are counting on that.  Well, it looked like they were raising their prices, but they didn’t.  So we didn’t.

John Cole says: “Check the god-damn previews before you order.”  (Or he would say that if I asked him to.)

2022 Pets Calendars!

2022 Pet Calendar A (Nyms A-K)
2022 Pet Calendar A (Nyms L-Z)
2022 Pet Calendar B (Nyms A-K)
2022 Pet Calendar B (Nyms L-Z)

Pet Calendar B See the Calendar Pages
Pet Calendar A See the Calendar Pages

Totally open thread!

    I ordered for family and a few friends!  Do we know how much per calendar goes to the pet rescue, or does that depend on how many are ordered?

    @KBS:

    Cafe Press charges us 14.99 for printing.

    So $10.01 from each calendar goes to the pet rescue.

    That’s pretty darn good, I think!

    Breaking : former Senator Bob Dole has died at age 98.

    I never supported him, but he was orders of magnitude better than the current GOP crop.

    ETA: One pair of images that will stay with me forever is from immediately after TFG’s inauguration. Bob and Liddy Dole were seated at the top of the bleachers, on the aisle. They tried to greet and congratulate TFG, who ignored them and swept past them. A minute later, the Obamas got to the top row, embraced the Doles, and stopped to talk with them for a minute. The contrast was exquisite.

    RIP, Senator.

    Clearly Cole did not take these pics of his pets. They would be blurry otherwise. ?

    @cain:  Someone had to say it!

    Cole’s picture-taking abilities have vastly improved over time.  Plus, iPhone cameras have become increasingly better.

    Both of those things show in Cole’s recent photos. :-)

    This is a totally open thread.  We have to post about the calendars so everyone see that they are available to order, but with an open thread we can talk about anything.

    “I’m a Trumper”—Bob Dole, 2020

    Doubt this will make a difference to the liberal hagiographic historical rewrite that’s coming but worth a shot

    Preemptive assholedom from Eoin Higgins.  Realizing that lefties probably won’t “dance on his grave,” he tries to keep the outrage flowing by predicting a mendacious attempt to be “nice” by insinuating that Dole shared positive characteristics with actual humans.

    @germy:

    It’s possible to acknowledge Dole’s decent qualities and not fall into hagiography. He served his country and sacrificed the integrity of his body. He considered his political opponents just that — opponents — and not enemies. He voted for many causes I am profoundly opposed to, as well as some I support. He made some big mistakes in his life. So have we all.

    I’m sending him an R.I.P. and condolences to his family. If I spew vitriol on the likes of Bob Dole and John McCain and Colin Powell, it dilutes what I’m saving up for Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, and TFG.

    That’s an interesting way to look at it.  (Not that I have anything against Dole.)

    @hueyplong: How is it “preemptive assholedom” to point out that Dole proclaimed himself in the Trump camp in 2020?

    I find all this “Dole was so much better than the current crop” nonsense annoying.  Dole was an active participant in the Republican shitshow.  Whitewashing him now is the “assholedom.”

    Not directing this at any commenters in particular, but there are more than I had previously imagined who are coming across as narrow-minded, mean-spirited, unforgiving scolds.

    Out of here for a while. I prefer to hang out with people who look for and acknowledge the decency in most people.

    Lovely Calendars.  Ordered 2.  A & B.  One a gift to a Cat rescue friend.  She takes the seniors.  I Love that.

    Candidly, the calendars are tender treats.  I have begun calling Katie my Calendar Girl.

    @SiubhanDuinne:

    I feel compelled to respond to this. We judge people by their actions and where those actions take them. Just as we can acknowledge, say, that Robert Byrd was a former Klansman who redeemed himself with his actions later in life, it is not “narrow-minded, mean-spirited [and] unforgiving” to acknowledge that Bob Dole, whatever his golden past as an old-school, honorable Republican, ended up fully supporting Donald Trump (and the ruinous policies of the Republican Party). That he still did so in 2020, after the colossal mis- and malfeasance of the previous four years, at age 97, prompted my “senile” snark. The alternative interpretation is not better.

    Wikipedia: “Dole endorsed Donald Trump after the latter clinched the Republican nomination, while all other then-living Republican presidential nominees, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, refused to do so, and became the lone former nominee to attend the 2016 Republican National Convention.”

    Dole was a loyal Trumpist. That stains his legacy.

    @Steeplejack:

    I agree.

    Some things can not make up for other things. Supporting TFG before he was elected and after could be seen to be from senility, given Dole’s age, and while prior he may have been a reasonable conservative, senility usually shows who one has been behind any veneer, rather than a drastic change in direction.
