Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A consequence of cucumbers

This fight is for everything.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Bark louder, little dog.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

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

But it’s classy because it was a dressage bus:

Today is the day of the dueling mega-speeches on the presidential campaign trail. And reporters waiting around the venue of President Obama’s event were greeted by a Romney campaign bus circling the venue and volubly honking its horn, something you’d expect a rival wrestling team to do to disrupt the other team’s pep talk.

But a Daily Kos commenter used profanity to describe Romney last week, so double technical.

    I also think this is a call to arms to the wingnuts – they’ll hear about these disruptions, then take it upon themselves to do the same. Add in some “grassroots” support from the Kochs et al and I could see angry mobs of scooter driving tea partiers clogging the roads to and from any Obama event. Bonus points because Rmoney can deny he’d ever stoop to such uncivil discourse.

    If you have ever canvassed or held signs for a Dem candidate you know that harassment is “go-to” mode for troglodytes who drive by. I always thought the idiots screaming obscenities were actually non-voters*, but apparently they have taken over the GOP.

    *I thought this because if you are out canvassing and you run into GOP campaign canvassers it is usually a pleasant “we’re all in this walking around this god-forsaken corner of New Hampshire together” kinda vibe, so I assumed the idiots are people who really could care less about the campaign.

    I’m not sure he’s right, but you’re missing a major part of his point. The message this sends to most Americans is absolutely nothing, because they still aren’t paying attention to this stuff. The only people who are paying attention right now are people who really care about this stuff. The people who already like Obama (or hate Romney) are going to see this as an asshole stunt by Romney. The people who hate Obama are going to see this as a sign that Romney gets their hate and is going to dial it up to eleven. That’s a message he very much wants to send.

    Because they knew they were dealing with Republicans, and consequently had no confidence that the bus would stop for them. If honking at Obama’s rally is supposed to make the Republican base think better of Romney, imagine what running a couple of them over with his campaign bus would do.

    I think letting the bus go on an on in its rudeness was pitch-perfect.

    Way way back in ’06, about 800 christian whackos came to St. Paul to freak out about gay marriage. They came into the capitol and literally banged on hearing room doors of committees that weren’t hearing a marriage bill.

    It was nuts.

    The following week, 2,000 progressive interfaith people came to the capitol and had a tidy, respectful and even up-beat rally calling on the legislature to vote down the anti-marriage amendment bill (ms. Bachmann’s BTW).

    The rest of the session, legislators I know said the tide turned when members saw the stark contrast between the raving and the respectful.

    Now, there are times when we progressives need to fight like hell. But schoolyard antics like the Romney bus? let ’em screw themselves.

    ETA: 6 years later the ravers got their wish. But 6 years may prove to be the margin, since about 2% per year migrate to pro-lgbt voting.

    Hulu+ has a “Hulu+ Exclusive” series called Battleground. It’s a pretty funny low-budget “mockumentary” about a fictional Democratic senatorial campaign in Wisconsin. The candidate has a son on the staff who is an incredible moron and basically provides comic relief (sometime the best part of the show).

    This is the kind of campaign stunt he keeps trying to do (and other staffers are dispatched to diplomatically stop him from doing).

    Let’s see what kind of campaign leader Mitt is. Let’s see if whoever is behind this juvenile stunt gets their sorry childish ass booted off the campaign.

    Mitt ought to show he understands that, as a presidential candidate, he must do more than constantly gainsay his opponent on vision and policy. He must conduct himself like a president, and exact from his campaign that they too must conduct themselves properly. Because their conduct reflects on his judgement in hiring them.

    This is one of the many little pop quizzes, if you will, of presidential quality that Mitt is facing along the way to November. He hasn’t been doing particularly well on them.

    My nomination for the Romney campaign song:

    All through the town.
