Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

… gradually, and then suddenly.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Republicans do not trust women.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Everybody saw this coming.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

No one could have predicted that Breitbart would find a way to accidentally release an x-rated picture of Anthony Wiener. I, for one, am shocked at the lack of integrity displayed by Opie and Anthony and Breitbart. It’s a mystery how it got out, what with Breitbart going to bars and leaving his laptop open with pictures of Weiner’s component parts on full display for everyone. He was so carefully guarding that picture! For “insurance!”

Seriously, if CNN and MSNBC and the rest of these assholes do not realize who they are dealing with now, they simply do not care.

And on a more serious note, how many straight men out there carry around pictures of some other male’s erect penis on their phone? That’s just plain weird, regardless of the circumstances.

    He’s not weird, he’s my Breitbart!

    Too bad that W * * n * r and his family have to go through this embarrassment.

    I was shaken up a little, what with Breitbart apparently being correct about W * * n * r, and not lying about absolutely everything, and saying something that indicated he might have a tiny tiny shred of integrity.

    But, ha ha, dumb gullible me, Breitbart remains Breitbart, and went and released the picture anyway. The time space continuum remains untorn.

    IMHO, Breitbart, like most of these reactionary media celebs has some serious mental issues.

    Of course Breitbart found a way to get the picture out, and throw himself back into the gutter. Doing something ‘weird’ like carrying a pic of guy’s junk around like it was some precious relic was a necessary means.

    Breitbart did it because he is a ruthless sadistic jackass who likes to cause pain, or figured that move would get him a few more bucks on the US media clown show, or because he was out of the spotlight a little too suddenly, and could not control himself.

    But here’s the deal. Weiner is an IDIOT if he didn’t think the right-wing noise machine wasn’t coming for him. He was on a tear, going after some serious shit by Justice Thomas. All of this important work has now been totally derailed because he wasn’t smart enough to realize his private life WOULD be used against him.

    If you’re a liberal pol going after the right wing, you had best be as pure as the Pope’s wife. Seriously. It’s grossly unfair, but it’s an unfair hypocritical and f*ckin insane world. Weiner is a fool, an arrogant and clueless fool.

    And for being a fool, he should step down.

    Since then, I look at his actions through the prism of someone who thinks knows he’s right. So, if he’s right, why worry about the methods?

    Also, I always get a kick out of seeing ABC and other stations work w/ someone who’s said publicly and explicitly that he’s dedicated to their destruction.

    “And for being a fool, he should step down.”

    No. I think Weiner should stay as long as he can win an election.

    The reactionaries will game any rules, any predictable response from their opponents (which is everyone except the super rich and their lackeys).

    The only scandalous part of the whole affair is that Weiner lied, as far as I can tell (though it is a bit unclear what the deal is with the intended recipient now, and whether what Weiner did was harassment, or like others she was interested in sharing social media pr0n with a politician. I admit I have not looked into it out of sheer disinterest).

    I will not do anything that is even remotely or indirectly related to terms set by the likes of Breitbart, Limbaugh, Brooks, Will and that whole gang of sociopaths.

    If a Democrat does something that merits sanction or resignation by a reasonable man standard, that is different. But not because these reactionary goons set up some cheesy BS sting.

    Unless Weiner was harassing people with his racy pics, then IMHO, he did nothing wrong. If there was no harassment, then Weiner did nothing justifying resignation, and his main problem is that he lied about it.

    Edit: I don’t know what their marital relationship is, so Weiner may have done his wife some serious wrong, but that is a private, not a public matter.

    Resign, don’t resign – I don’t care. It’s between Weiner and his family, and Weiner and his constituents if he runs again.

    I don’t know if it’s that I don’t get it, or that all the people fighting for Weiner’s right to continue on haven’t figured it out yet.. but he’s never going to be that guy getting airtime for railing against Clarence Thomas’ conflict of interest, or any other story.

    He’s not going to be taken seriously by the media anymore, his usefulness as that liberal firebrand is done, over, kaput. Weiner can continue as a back-bencher, and probably regain some respect by working, and keeping his head down. But you’re not getting THAT Anthony Weiner back.

    There is the David Vitter double standard, but then Vitter isn’t exactly a prominent figure among senators. And John Ensign went from Presidential Candidate in waiting to… Hoping to run for Re-election to the Senate to… Just wants to serve out his term to… Resigning the day before he’s forced to testify under oath.

    Professional POS Breitbart was doing Weiner Roast his victory dance on the John and Ken talk radio show in Los Angeles this afternoon. This show is huge in the talk radio market, and rules afternoon drive time. I could not bring myself to listen to the show, but it seems pretty clear that the idea is to bring Weiner down, no matter how nasty it gets. There was some hint in the promos that Breitbart had recently flown into town, but wanted to make sure that he got on the air to be interviewed to make sure that he could maximize the damage.

    The pre show promos also suggested that some group had previously got wind of the fact that Weiner had been a naughty boy, and was systematically working to identify the women that Weiner had sent messages and pictures.

    This shit is not going to stop. These people don’t care if they hurt Weiner or his wife or anyone else.

    I wonder if Democrats have what it takes to fight back. Or will they sit in a corner and suck on their thumbs while reading another ivory tower column from Saint Greenwald about how the Weiner Roast is just not serious.

It’s harder for the GOP & the Press to continue the Weinergate Cable Flash Mob 24/7 for 12 days if you’ve admitted you have a problem. You’re an Inpatient. You’re getting treatment & your new wife is pregnant. I’m sorry I lied to everyone, etc., etc. Just a written stmt would have sufficed. Back to work in about 60 days & keep a low profile.

    Last year, for example, while having a drink on the veranda of the swanky Shutters Hotel in Santa Monica, Breitbart became incensed by antiwar protesters filing by on the boardwalk and angrily flipped them off. After discovering that they were protesting the abduction of children for conscription in Uganda and the Congo, he wrote a self-flagellating column for the Washington Times headlined “I, Jerk.”

    But, because I’m charitable: if Breitbutt were openly gay, it would not be a cause for derision. But, because he’s one of these take-no-prisoners-macho-my-dick-swings-bigger-than-yours-you-faggot type of persons, and continues to behave that way, one can speculate about closet cases and how said closetedness reveals itself. Plus, also, too, we know it would piss the hell out of Breitbutt – not that he reads BJ, but one can always hope.

He was going to whore his scummy POS ass from one media outlet to the next, braying about how he would release the photo if Weiner tried to “attack” him, but until then, he would do the right thing for the sake of Weiner’s family.

    But now look! The picture is out and his own freaking story has passed him by!
