Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

No Justins, No Peace

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

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

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

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Our own Angry Black Lady is having a fall fundraiser. Now that Sarah is not running, many of you will have some extra scratch that otherwise would have gone to her campaign, so why not help ABL out instead?

    @Raven (formerly stuckinred): Rubio was already being harassed by birthers. No way was the GOP going to run a Mormon/Brown person ticket, not even if the brown person was a right-wing extremist. They’ll need an authentic American Christian to offset Romney’s exoticism.

    Also, police are now beating up protesters with clubs in NYC. So far, no sword wielding cops of camels though.

    To you fantastic friends and excellent Bloggers–

    I am writing to you en masse, completely uncharacteristically, to draw your attention to two long-term asset strategy memos put out by CitiGroup in 2006. It is clear that they remain operating strategy.

    Please, have a look at Citi’s Plutonomy Memos.They literally DRIP contempt for us down here. Their #1 stated fear is that we finally catch on, and demand our fair share. They go on to state that they have the power and influence to enact any type of Civil crisis to STOP that.

    No kidding.

    http://monkeyfister.blogspot.com/2011/10/citis-plutonomy-memos.html

    Please download these memos, and repost wherever possible. They will not last long where they are, and I am running out of venues. Citi’s lawyers find them and have them torn down.
    My health is very bad, but I feel that wide dissemination of these memos is absolutely vital to the cause of the 99%, and Occupy Wall Street. With wide enough distribution, there will be no way for the Banksters to push their fictions on the various Media Platforms. They really ARE out to get us, as a matter of strategy.

    Yours always,

    –Monkeyfister

    And once a blogger starts accepting cash from his or her readers, there is no way the content is not going to be affected by the blogger’s natural desire to keep the lucre flowing and the hits coming…or do you claim to be immune to that tendency?

    @Brian S:

    Well, Norquist isn’t a fan of regulation that would mitigate the effects of global warming, and that’s close enough to your third example—the biological agent one—for me.

    Brian, I, like, totally believe you. However, global-warming denial is not, in fact, “close enough” to my biological agent example, even for horseshoes, hand grenades or h-bombs. In the future, you will be more effective at arguing against the examples people actually use, rather than substituting examples that they do not use, to attempt a refutation. Your fallacious technique might work with a monkey like amk, however.

    I salute your ceaseless humanitarian impulses, Sir, as well as your world-famous Nachos recipe. To my chagrin, I sometimes forget to handle the little people with the well-practiced delicacy only a statesman such as yourself has mastered. I apologize for my failings, again.

    @Uncle Clarence Thomas: You don’t say ‘monkey boy’. I love to pick apart racist mofos like you and cs. I see all your firebagger temper trolltrum is coming from the fact that all your great white hopes of taking on Obama are flaming out like the gnats they are.

    And I am loving it.

    That would be a neat trick on my part. You don’t really pay attention, do you? You must lead a blissful life, even though it is filled with uninformed hatred.

    I see all your firebagger temper trolltrum is coming from the fact that all your great white hopes of taking on Obama

    I do believe that you “see things”… But I have never advocated that only a white person should be president, and to my knowledge, neither firebaggers nor you racist balloonbaggers advocate such a thing either. A progressive can be of any race. As I said, you’re one non-stop non sequitur.

    Funding ABL? hahaha. No.

    Obama has plenty of people to campaign for him and do the rah rah. He doesn’t deserve a scrap of my hard-earned $.

    Oh I know I know, there are no alternatives. But I’d rather throw my money at the Wall Street protestors who are actually doing something, than a guy who hired Goldman Sachs execs to prevent him from regulating Wall St.

    He may be the only game in town, compared to Republicans who are completely crazy and evil, but he still sucks.

    So no, I won’t be funding ABL.

    @No one of importance: Right. Because not wanting to support an Obot means that you can’t differentiate between them and the President that they support. If ABL was white Mackenna’s comment would have been just as logical. Stpuid comments like yours only reinforce the right wing talking point that liberals constantly complain about non-existent racism.

    @No one of importance:

    How am I racist?

    ABL shills for Obama. She has no critical faculty.

    The respect I had for Obama in 2008 is now diminished by his policies and actions. This has absolutely and utterly nothing to do with race. But I suppose the accusation is convenient.

    Thanks to everyone who donated. I really appreciate it. I will be sending out thank you notes, so expect something in the mail — not anthrax… probably.
