Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

White supremacy is terrorism.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

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

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

“Just Us” Sunday II

So apparently on “Just Us” Sunday was not divisive and obnoxious enough, and they have decided to have another go around. After looking at the page I see Chuck Colson prominently listed- is that the Watergate Chuck Colson?

At any rate, some suggested topics:

Will a conservative Supreme Court Justice be able to Never mind. I am just goingto get myself in trouble.

    And yes, it is the Watergate Colson.

    And so what if it it’s the Watergate Colson?

    Then it is the Watergate Chuck Colson, Jay. I thought he was dead.

    IIRC he became a preacher in prison. Still trashed Felt though.

    Felt, the leaker? Oh, wait, he’s a good leaker. Sorry about the mix-up.

    Nixon administration, The criminal and corrupt one? Oh wait, I forgot you support corrupt administrations Stormy.

    P.S. Do you have any proof that Felt leaked information, Stormy, or are you just talking out of your ass?

    Woodward and Bernstein have always contended that Felt only confirmed information that they recieved from other less reliable sources.

    I think Felt admitted he leaked information. That’s a no-brainer. But he leaked information about White House connections and cover-ups of the Watergate break in. Karl Rove leaked information about a CIA agent who was researching WMDs in Iraq.

    That’s the difference between whistle-blowing and treason. Whistle-blowing reports a criminal activity, outing a CIA agent is a criminal activity.

    You’re wasting your time trying to educate Stormy. She’s a little lacking in patriotism, having given that up along with her soul in return for Bush’s tax cuts.

    Aha! My patriotism is being questioned because I believe in tax cuts. Sacre Bleu, I am undone! On that perfect note, I will retire for the night.

    No, your patriotism is being questioned because you buy every lie this administration throws your way. It would be a shame if your conscience forced you to vote for somebody else who might actually carry out an effective war on terror, be against torture, outing CIA agents, and smearing veterans at the expense of your beloved tax cuts.

    I’m still waiting for a response to MY question stormy. Dodging it by responding to adhominem posts by others isn’t going to get you off the hook with me.

    Do you have proof that Felt leaked classified information or not?

    Sorry, forgot where I was. Criminals are OK if they are Republicans. Nixon was a great guy who did nothing wrong.

    Pathetic.

    So if it turns out that Rove was just confirming what others already knew, then all is well then? I am interested to know how one acquires this level of nuance.

    I am not sure exactly what you are asking but I’ll give it a shot anyways.

    I think what you are saying is that if Rove only confirmed Plame was an undercover CIA operative then I should see nothing wrong with that since I see nothing wrong with Felt’s confirmations. Well, no I do and I’ll explain why.

    The reason for the nuance is that you are using a false analogy, which is a logical fallacy.

    Felt’s confirmations and Rove’s confirmation would be on completely different levels. Felt’s confirmations were about criminal activity, Rove’s was about a vendetta.

    With that said…

    With the evidence presented, I do not believe Rove has committed a crime. That is how I see it as of now. Unless there is new evidence that implicates Rove, I do not think the current email chatter amounts to crime.

    […] Weird. Just the other day I asked if the Charles Colson that is featured at “Just Us” Sunday II was the Watergate Charles Colson (I had no idea, really), and the NY Times goes out and writes up a piece on him. […]
