Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

The revolution will be supervised.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Stay strong, because they are weak.

Southern Comfort

The collected works of George Tierney, Jr., from Greenville, SC:

I blame google for making him say that shit. Also, too, why do the vowels change in “relavant” and “irrelevant?”

BTW- Sue me you misogynist, semi-literate douchebag. For the crime of repeating what you said. Would love to see that go to court.

*** Update ***

In gambling terminology, what Mr. George Tierney, Jr, from Greenville, SC, is doing is what is known as “I’VE HAD A HANDLE OF OLD GRANDDAD, SO DOUBLE DOWN AND DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE KEYS TO MY PICK-EM-UP TRUCK WITH THE CONFEDERATE FLAG ARE?” going all in:

Everyone who thinks racism will die when the McCain blue hair crowd dies out needs to remember there is a new breed right behind them.

I honestly keep hoping this is a spoof account and George Tierney, Jr., from Greenville, SC, is just a hoax and not an actual human being.

    It’s not exactly hard to end up on unemployment in this economy. And it’s quite likely that Tierney’s behavior on Twitter could provide cause for termination, in which case he wouldn’t be eligible for UE anyway.

    @JGabriel: Depending on how it’s implemented locally that is untrue.

    Getting fired with cause doesn’t mean you can’t collect unemployment – my wife works for WA’s unemployment (worksource) so I know these things. If his boss fires him and doesn’t give him written reprimands first (for example) he can easily collect – at least judging by how it works in my state, dunno about SC. HERE THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY.

    Getting fired with cause IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A BAR for collecting unemployment. Sorry bud, you don’t know how this works.

    I went to middle school, high school, and undergrad with them, and worked with them too. Attended church with them, drank moonshine with them, and went to pig-pickins’ with them. I still have family that lives there too.

    I’ll date myself here, but I’ll never forget riding the bus home from middle school, when MC Hammer was at peak popularity and he was the topic of conversation near the front. The otherwise nice lady (minister’s wife) who drove the bus proceeded to call him a “skinny spook”.

    I see that George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina has decided to double down on this. With an n-bomb among other expletives. Clearly he is aware of all internet traditions.

    @George Tierney, Jr., of Greenville, South Carolina:

    I put my pants on just like you do, one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I’m not an asshole.

    Here’s something similar about you and me. We can both Google our ancestors and learn cool things about them. My great-great grandfather lost his leg fighting for his country in the Civil War. What about yours?

    Here’s something different between you and me. When our great-grandchildren research their ancestors, I’m going to come up as a good guy. You have ensured that your descendants a century from now will disown you as an asshole. Tough luck. You’ve still got a few years to take the vow of chastity and redeem yourself as a monk.

    @gaz:

    Actually that depends on state law more than fired with cause vs fired without cause. To sum it up, our “main office” is in NC, because of a sweet deal with UNC and the entire right to work/at will clauses. Now, my office is in DC which fucks some of that up a bit.

    I can fully shit can someone with cause and screw them over depending on where they work and what they do (internationals are the easiest even whithout cause), without cause is a bit more complicated.

    What’s worth keeping in mind is that odds are your company officers rigged where the main office is and other things to win out on this sort of thing. IE, we need a DC office because of USAID and STATE, but we won’t base out of it because “right to work, at will, blargh” so we can fuck people over better.

    TC-99m is the most widely used radioactive isotope for diagnostic studies. (Technetium-99m is a shorter half-life precursor of technetium-99.) Different chemical forms are used for brain, bone, liver, spleen and kidney imaging and also for blood flow studies.

    In manufacturing, gamma radiation from cobalt-60 or cesium-137 can improve the physical characteristics of materials. For example, exposure to gamma radiation improves the durability of some wood and plastic composites. Treated materials can be used for flooring in high-traffic areas of department stores, airports, and hotels, because they resist abrasion and ensure low maintenance.

    Plus, gamma resonance absorption can be used to detect concealed explosives in loaded cargo containers

    The gamma rays pass through the material under
    inspection, and those not absorbed there fall on an arc
    of bismuth germinate (BGO) detectors, the type of
    detector used in positron emission tomography.
    Because gamma rays resonant with nitrogen or chlorine
    are produced at similar angles to the proton beam, they
    can be detected with a common array.

    ذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ
    ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَاقُّوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۚ وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
    ذَٰلِكُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ
    يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوهُمُ الْأَدْبَارَ
    وَمَن يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَىٰ فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَمَأْوَاهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
    فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمَىٰ ۚ وَلِيُبْلِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ بَلَاءً حَسَنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

    He’s probably a Brony too.

    The guy has revealed himself as a racist, misogynist idiot and it was fun to point and laugh. But it’s time to stop now. He made an ass out of himself but he’s just some dipshit guy who doesn’t matter except to his small circle of acquaintances and his mom. Time to turn the Lefty Laser of Loathing and Lampoonitude back onto a bigger and more important target.

    Whenever South Carolina comes up as a topic of conversation, I can’t resist quoting James L. Petigru (1860):

    “South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum.”

    Of which George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina is an inmate.

    @AA+ Bonds: Funny, you seem to be the only one that gives a shit.

    I went to bed, so just now caught up with your little obsession. The lesson is NOT in fact important, and being wrong about SC matters exactly fuck all.

    Note: When I add a disclaimer that I do not know about SC, then that means I do not know about SC. I’m fine with that. You seem to care, but you are the only one.

    What I don’t understand is why you have a multi-hour hard on about it. I think you should get that seen to.

    Don’t you have any hobbies?

    @Steve in DC: It’s so very useful to not be able to describe the politics of regions based on the historical and dominant politics coming out of a region. Much more pure to describe in detail the exact political stances of every person in the south so you don’t stereotype.

    @gaz: Hey gaz, I wasn’t trying to pile on. I’m just pissed because Florida law already made it possible for employers to hassle you for months about getting unemployment insurance, just out of animus, and they went and passed a law giving the ex-employer WAY more power and putting burden of proof on the ex-employee.

    The sad thing is, if the person really was fired for cause pre-ALEC, a determined employer could f*ck them up. I know a business owner who fired someone who started hitting the cocaine a little too hard and was sexually harassing clients, business partners, vendors, etc. It took some followup, but he did get that guy’s unemployment denied. (I guess it was revenge for hurting his business like that.) Until that happened, I had no idea an employer could do something like that.

    But now it’s way, way easier.

    @Steve in DC: The American Legion and the VFW are not like any union I’ve been involved with. They frequently ally with conservative and/or Christian causes that have little to do with issues important to veterans.
    Veterans for Peace is a group that does beneficial work without lobbying for public displays of the Ten Commandments or discriminating against pagan service members and their families like the American Legion and the VFW.

    @slag: Tierney is NO gentleman. Don’t insult real men by associating them with Tierney. A real man doesn’t speak to women like he has. He’s also clueless regarding Sandra Fluke’s appearance. I’d love to see this asswipe try to sue someone and get laughed out of court, ending up paying for the court costs for all.
