Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

In after Baud. Damn.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

It’s a doggy dog world.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

This blog will pay for itself.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Second rate reporter says what?

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Donate to Dems in tough districts who voted for HCR without needing Bart Stupak to tell them that it was ok.

Goal Thermometer

Or, donate to this list of Dems who have had their offices vandalized. Thanks to reader Menzies for compiling it.

    I’ll donate when I get paid next, and will throw in something to Bob Etheridge (NC). He’s in a tough district in Eastern NC, was noncommittal for a while, but was never a Stupaker to my knowledge. North Carolina dems disappointed overall, I would say he was the only vulnerable one who voted for it.

    Today’s dispatch from Lake Batshit (shorter):

    “First they came for Ron Paul.
    But I was not Ron Paul, so I said nothing.
    Then they came for Glenn Greenwald.
    But I was not Glenn Greenwald, so I said nothing.
    Then they came for David Frum.
    But I was not David Frum, so I said nothing.
    Then they came for Jane Hamsher.
    But I am Jane Hamsher, and I WILL NOT SHUT THE FUCK UP.”

    Tee hee.

    (sorry, can’t help it. Yes, I KNOW I have a problem…)

    Surely been mentioned already, but Apple have apparently pulled all Fox advertising because of Glen Beck et al.

    With any luck, they shall reap what they sow.

    Militia raids were over plot to “levy war” against the US Government

    Detroit — Nine members of a militia group arrested in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio were planning to “levy war” against the United States and “oppose by force” the nation’s government, according to an indictment released this morning in U.S. District Court in Detroit.

    The eight men and one woman are members of the “Hutaree,” identified as an “anti-government extremist organization” in the indictment, and each faces three to five charges, including sedition, attempts to use weapons of mass destruction, teaching/demonstrating use of explosive materials and two counts of carrying weapons in relation to a crime of violence.

    @SIA:

    re: claustrophobia and flying.
    Try imagining that the People’s Citizens United Republic of Baby Jeebusstan has just been declared and you are on the last airplane out. Sort of like Saigon in 1975. Maybe that will help.
