Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

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

The revolution will be supervised.

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

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

We still have time to mess this up!

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Progress in London Bombings Investigation

Seems like the Brits think they have some leads in the investigation:

Authorities announced today that police had raided five homes in the northern city of Leeds and said the action was “directly connected” to last Thursday’s terrorist bombings of subway trains and a bus.

The raids, which started at around 6.30 a.m., come five days after terrorists detonated four bombs during the morning rush-hour on July 7, killing at least 52 people and leaving hundreds more injured in London’s worst day of terror in decades.

There were no immediate reports of arrests.

Later today, the police closed a railway station in Luton, about 25 minutes north of London, to examine a car suspected of ties to the bombings. No arrests were announced so far and no other details were immediately available.

Also today, U.S. officials rescinded an order that ordered about 10,000 military personnel personnel stationed at air bases in eastern England to avoid London following the terror attacks.

The Scotsman has more:

THE BODY of a suspected bomber thought to have been responsible for the blast on a bus last week in London was identified, according to reports quoting unidentified sources.

The person’s name was not reported and Scotland Yard refused to confirm the claims, however police carried out a series of raids across Leeds today based on this apparent information, the sources said.

Police hunting the London bombers were led to six properties in the West Yorkshire area – including Leeds – as part of an “intelligence-led operation”, described by Sir Ian Blair, commissioner of the Metorpolian Police, as “significant”.

Go get them.

    I just thought somebody needed to comment to erase the “0”.

    So, yeah, what he said…go get ’em!”

    Should we add “dead or alive”?

    Distraction. It’s about distraction. If we get all tingly about “getting” the “perpetrators” we’ll think that we’ve accomplished something.

    But we haven’t. They could arrest 1000 people today and lock them up and throw away the key, and it would not change anything.

    Yesterday the news wires were floating a story that coalition forces had “killed ten insurgents.”

    That’s like saying that health officials killed ten mosquitos, in the war against West Nile Disease.

    Either they have no clue, or they think we have no clue.
