Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

He really is that stupid.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Republicans do not trust women.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

No more lines at the gas station in Egypt:

The apparently miraculous end to the crippling energy shortages, and the re-emergence of the police, seems to show that the legions of personnel left in place after former President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in 2011 played a significant role — intentionally or not — in undermining the overall quality of life under the Islamist administration of Mr. Morsi.

And as the interim government struggles to unite a divided nation, the Muslim Brotherhood and Mr. Morsi’s supporters say the sudden turnaround proves that their opponents conspired to make Mr. Morsi fail. Not only did police officers seem to disappear, but the state agencies responsible for providing electricity and ensuring gas supplies failed so fundamentally that gas lines and rolling blackouts fed widespread anger and frustration.

It’s either a conspiracy, or a demonstration of the eternal truth that there’s no win in pissing off a bureaucrat, or a bureaucracy.

    Well see an analogous breaking of the legislative logjam in the US House of Reps the minute another Republican is sworn in as president (dog forbid). All the sudden, they’ll decide it’s a good idea again to confirm judges and heads of agencies and even to provide stimulus funds to head off economic downturns.

    Or it is proof Morsi was a failure. He created a system that didn’t work, because he was focused on making the country into a theocracy instead of making sure the country ran efficiently.

    Not to be a negative ninny, but wasn’t the US criticized for getting rid of all the Hussein supporting bureaucrats in Iraq? And didn’t Iraq experience many of the same problems with power outages, etc, etc?

    I mean, it makes sense to get rid of them, to a certain degree because you know they’re motivated to not work with the new government. But on the other hand, if you do get rid of them, you lose a lot of knowledge and know-how that replacement employees won’t have. Either way, things aren’t going to go smoothly and important government services won’t be delivered.

    Maybe there’s some kind of magic ratio of old to new bureaucrats that needs to happen in a regime change so that the government “works”. Of course, in the U.S. we all know that government is one monolithic representative of Satan so there’s no reason whatsoever to separate out the elected reps from the bureaucrats when we play the “blame game”.

    Plus, the energy companies have been busy making the US more energy independent, there is a boom

    And without mentioning the lead time to get production on line. Given that it can take the better part of a decade from new permit to full production, it’s a good bet that most of the increased hydrocarbon production under Obama is a result of the anything-goes attitude of the Bush administration. It wouldn’t be the first time a president took credit for a previous administration’s policies.

    @catclub: Yeah. For some of the other issues like gas shortages, I can see an argument made for Morsi’s incompetence causing problems and for economic sabatoge from suppliers or distributors being the cause. It is hard to know for sure rom this distance. But the power outages sound like they were purely the result of businesses fucking around.

    @Paul in KY: That was actually my point. I don’t think anyone is saying that the Mubarak’s loyal bureaucrats were incompetent. They could do their job, they chose not to.

    I was in Egypt during the runoff (“the spare tire” vs. “the shoe”), and even then there was chatter that gas lines suddenly got bad in that period, interpreted by most as a warning from the powers that be to vote for the old regime.

    @burnspbesq:

    He’s going to put a hold on the Comey nomination

    I don’t give a shit who does it. Someone needs to put a hold on the Comey nomination.
    Fuck James Comey. It’s a fucking disgrace Obama ever nominated him for FBI.
