Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

“Look, it’s not against the rules anywhere, but a black woman with power was dating and there has to be something wrong with that.”

Republicans in disarray!

Republicans don’t trust women.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Books are my comfort food!

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Apparently Obama Is **Still** The Antichrist

Erik-Rush

“There is more than a little evidence that there has been actual demonic or satanic activity going on within [Obama’s] circle and has been for many years. I believe the Omen analogy is quite apt.”

Yup, according to sometime Fox commentator and fulltime problem Erik Rush, Obama is Satan. Good to know the Right isn’t above name calling.

But at least there’s some good news today, as the Democrats went “nuclear” and pushed through  a controversial change to Senate filibuster rules that will make it easier to approve President Obama’s nominees. We have a feeling the name calling isn’t done just yet.

Also on today’s #TWiBRadio: #TeamBlackness discusses whether selfies are actually a cry for help (seriously?) (24:30), what culturally biracial really means (34:00), and whether R. Kelly’s genius can make a dolphin and ice hockey players be sexy (01:09:01).

And this morning on #amTWiB: The Morning Crew discusses a Utah town’s forgotten election (20:48), Stand Your Ground potentially coming to Ohio (28:40), the experience of Roma in East-Central Europe (37:06), and Serbian political staffer gets into trouble for racy pictures (53:51).

    So is this “Erik Rush” an actually person or is he the unfortunate laboratory result of an attempt to combine the DNA of Erik Erickson and Rush Limbaugh?

    And, in adjacent stories on my Google News feed I learn that today, after 82 years, three innocent poor black men were finally pardoned (posthumously) while, after 11 years in prison, a rich white convicted murderer was released on bail. The best justice system money can buy, indeed.

    Just saw a clip on Rev Al’s show of Senator Grassley promising that when Repubs take control of the Senate, they’ll extend the filibuster nuclear option to Supreme Court nominees.

    Of course.

    @Patricia Kayden: well when the R’s next take control of the Senate, most likely Grassley will be one dead sonofabitch. In essence, fuck him and the group of hypocritical bastards of a political party that he’s a part of.

    Oh, and Grandpa McCain is not happy:

    Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that Democrats would “pay a heavy, heavy price” for changing the Senate rules for judicial and executive nominees.

    And this years projection award goes to:

    They’re governed by the newer members… who have never been in a minority, who are primarily driving this issue,” McCain told reporters after the vote. “They succeeded and they will pay a very, very heavy price for it.”

    You know, people who say things like these used to be placed under medical care if they were lucky, and left to wander city alleys and sidewalks if they were not. The LAST FUCKING PLACE they’d be found would be interviewed on television.

    Sometimes I feel as though American political discourse has turned into one big elaborate prank.

    Very glad to see Harry Reid finally delivering after all these years.

    @Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader: Reminds me of a friend (hardcore right-wing) who has, for the last 2 elections told me that is has *the* most liberal voting record in the Senate. On Obama, I called him out with “Yeah, you said that about John Kerry, too.” It’s a common trick whenever a Congressman runs that a thinktank will score the candidate as having “the most liberal voting record in Congress”, but now it’s gotten so bad that you’ve got religious nutjobs getting on TV trying to prove that the Democratic candidate (or in this case, winner) fulfills antichrist prophecies.

    But Obama is black so that means there’s no such thing as racism any more.

    @Keith P: The thinking is that the Republican candidate is the Candidate of God so the Democratic candidate automatically has to be Anti-God or Anti-Christ. Where it gets fun (if you ever want to engage these idiots) is when you ask them if All This End Times Nonsense is God’s plan, then shouldn’t they be supporting the Anti-Christ? Of course, they will recoil from this idea and say God’s will shall come to pass regardless of what they do and that’s when you strike and say Exactly! That’s why God made the Republican candidate the Anti-Christ! Then you point out all this crazy shit about Mitt Romney’s religion and then they get spooked and stop talking to ya and eventually unfriend you on Facebook.

    Salah and his attorney, Steve Lopez, are preparing to file a federal civil rights lawsuit, contending that the police department has routinely, under the direction of the city’s top leaders, directed its officers to conduct racial profiling, illegal stops and searches and other activities to cover up illegal misconduct.
