Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Stinger wrote this  inaugural comment on this new old Balloon Juice site.

If you love ducks, big dogs, and cats,
Garden pics, recipes, political spats,
The good news is — hold on to your hats —
Today BJ is live.

Pics of buildings, stars, and birds,
Accompanied by thoughtful words
Provide armchair travel for jackal herds
Today BJ is live.

If you, like me, plan to vote cyan,
WaterGirl, Betty C, and bonny Anne
Bring news with snark more than anyone can
Today BJ is live.

And the three men I admire most —
Omnes, Baud, and our genial host —
Are still around (and soon ’65’s toast)
Today BJ is live!

I’ll bet we’ll see something from Subaru Diane at some point, too!

Henry says ‘hi’ because he missed you all, and speaking of gardens, here’s one of my tree peonies this year.
