Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Let there be snark.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

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.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Republicans in disarray!

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

    Yeah, where are the nigrahs? You know, those folks who caused the housing crisis and thus the financial crisis by forcing those delicate yet feckless (white) bankers to loan them money for houses which said cunning nigrahs really spent on Caddies and T-bones while selling their food stamps to single mothers who then used them to buy drugs! ! ! (This is pretty much what my wingnut brother AND my broker told me, anyway.)

    Who the hell is Wilkinson and why is Sully quoting this tripe?

    There’s something about the union demonstrations in Madison, and the excitement it has caused on the left, that reminds me of the Tea Party. I think I’ve figured it out what it is. The advent of the labor movement is at the heart of the left’s sacred creation myth. The sense on the left that unions are under siege gives the them something to fight for with a bracing sense of historically-rooted identity and moral authority. Similarly, the sense on the right that America’s foundational values are under siege gave the Tea Party something to fight for with a bracing sense of historically-rooted identity and moral authority.

    Yeah, other than one being funded and scripted to the smallest detail and the other being a shocked reaction to a surprise govenmmental overreach, they’re exactly alike.

    Hey, since it’s an open thread, can I put in a bleg for my former foster son? He’s doing a St. Baldrick fundraiser and could use a few donations. I’m really proud of him, he’s unemployed and selling plasma to make ends met to support his family, and still managing to do something to try to help others. His goal is really modest, and I’d love to surprise him with donations from folks he doesn’t know. Thanks!

    Not sure how I’ll watch the hearings, or even when. Two of my streaming services are NBC and CBS, and I think I can watch the hearings on those.

    But I agreed to go out to dinner with a friend, without thinking about the time difference (I’m on the West Coast). I may ask her if we can reschedule.

    I just saw that NBC, CBS and ABC  have a 2 hour block for their coverage. I think I will switch my DVR to one of those. CNN must be adding in their reaction coverage into their block.

    C-Span has a section of their website devoted to January 6. I’ll probably watch/listen to the hearings there.

    In related news, AlJazeera:

    Russian economy to shrink by 15 percent: Trade group

    Hard hit by sanctions, Russia’s economy will shrink by 15 percent this year and another 3 percent in 2023, wiping out 10 years of economic gains, the Institute of International Finance, a global banking trade group, said in an analysis.

    President Vladimir Putin said earlier this week that unemployment and inflation are decreasing, backing up his frequent claims that Russia is succeeding despite Western sanctions.

    Still, the finance institute argued the sanctions, partly by encouraging foreign companies to abandon Russia, “are unraveling its economy, wiping out more than a decade of economic growth, and some of the most meaningful consequences have yet to be felt”.

    C-Span is good for the hearings themselves but any breaks in the action means they go to the phones. I value the neurons I have left, so I will probably end up watching on MSNBC.

    @Delk:  How do THEY know it didn’t break the day before? I mean, spirit of the law and all ..

    ETA: oh, but May 25, hmm, that would kinda be stretching it.

    Our power dipped off for a few moments, and then the laptops wanted us to sign into Starlink, which is our new sat-based internet service. After we rebooted everything, good to go now. Starlink, while sadly affects astronomy, is a great connection, the best we’ve ever had from our rural outpost.

    We will watch the hearing on MSNBC, depending upon the sats and the moon and the stars. And watch comments here, I hope. You all behave, now!!!

    @geg6: This afternoon they said Nicolle, Rachel, Joy, Ari, and Lawrence. My reaction was yay, no Chuck Todd!

    Because the dishwasher has been using its wifi to upload diagnostic reports every twelve hours since it was installed.

    @Ken:  Ahhh, so THAT explains why it broke when it did. (The link, presumably, is two-way.)

    I’ll give you a hint. It is not a neon sign of a ram.

    Reminds me, I’d been thinking for awhile that the Dodge Ram logo looks exceedingly gynecological.  Mentioned this to my wife not too long ago, and she said, “oh yeah, definitely.”
