Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Bark louder, little dog.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The words do not have to be perfect.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

No Justins, No Peace

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The Instapundit links to this

The Instapundit links to this first-hand account of the police efforts in the D.C. Sniper Case:

It’s getting to the point around here where people driving white vans have been pulled over multiple times, so much so that a reporter asked a question of Montgomery County’s Chief Moose: were officials going to institute a system so that vans wouldn’t be pulled over multiple times? As of a few days ago, he said “no,” they had no such system in place.

Profiles are tools to help cops predict the perpetrator’s next move. They aren’t pretexts for searches. As a 25-35 unmarried white male who owns two handguns (and might at some point in the future own a long gun), I don’t think that, because I may fit the very vague profile, I should be subject to searches, seizures, stops, or other kinds of questioning.

I tend to agree with him.

One point about Chief Moose, though. I normally do not find many reasons to praise police (I think the state of policework in this country is generally deplorable), but I must admit that there is something I really like aboiut Chief Moose. He seems competent, confident, compassionate, reolute, determined, focussed, and fair. He reminds me of an old 1st Sergeant- I can’t think of higher praise than that. At any rate, if you disagree with me, just try this- compare Moose to the freckle-faced half-wit from D.C. who ran the Chandra Levy investigation. In that light, Chief Moose seems almost Giulianesque.
