Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

It’s a doggy dog world.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Come on, man.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

This blog will pay for itself.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

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

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

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

    No doubt about it, Lyndon was a first class cracker.

    If this is what I think it is it is pretty amusing. How many times do you get to hear a President say “bunghole”.

    How does a megalomaniac put on his pants?

    A history professor in college played this clip in college for us to make a point about secondary sources, since the most complete transcript of the LBJ tapes at that time described the more colorful parts as unintelligible.

    @Amir Khalid:

    This is true.

    As a side note, playing LBJ was one of Bill Murray’s greatest roles. He was robbed of an oscar by weak filmmaking. Great job on his part.

    @Amir Khalid: I was really surprised that wingnut bloggers didn’t mash-up excerpts of the “Dreams” audiobook to, I dunno, create the ultimate Whitey Tape. Maybe they couldn’t figure out how?

    @Mike E: THREE major ones – Housing, Civil Rights, & Voting Rights Acts.

    Plus two minor ones – one varying age discrimination in employment and the other that was basically a pre-cursor to the ADA.

    Plus the Immigration Act that let brown people into the country in large numbers for 1st time ever.

    Dude basically recreated the entire country to let non-whites join in. And the right wing has been fighting it ever since.

    My attitude is very similar to Elaine’s in the Seinfeld episode, “The Hamptons.”

    I don’t know how you guys walk around with those things.

    Rachel Maddow played that tape awhile back on her show, I think on Valentine’s Day last year. It was her way of showing her love for all of us fans.

    Great, great stuff. Robert Caro (LBJ biographer) discusses in some detail how much the president liked to talk about his own dick (its length, heft, circumference, etc) . . . but something’s missing if you don’t get to hear it in his own voice.

    Maddow aired that clip a year or so ago, and completely lost it on air. She could barely finish a sentence without having a laughing fit.

    I read the Caro biography of LBJ and one I came away with was his sincere desire to help minorities. Whatever else you can say about him, he did want to help poorer people and open opportunities for them.

    @Hill Dweller: One of my favorite Maddow Moments. I can’t figure out why she hasn’t become America’s Lesbian Sweetheart.

    I believe that conversation also made it into “All the Way,” the Broadway play starring Walter White Bryan Cranston.

    I think NPR actually aired a bleeped-out version of this a few years ago, too…

    And even though it’s a complete non-sequiter, didn’t a bunch of people send GWB bags of pretzels after his infamous choking on a pretzel experience during the Super Bowl some years ago? I wonder if they got phone calls from the SS afterwards. Still wish the pretzel had completed it’s task.

    I think people like LBJ knew the Birchers and up close and personal, and hated them the way only a close relative can hate.

    We are still living in “LBJ’s Country”

    For better and for worse (but more better) we are dealing with the aftermath of his presidency. And even though the Right is trying to erase it, there is no way they can make it all disappear.

    One of these decades when this society gets a clue, the resultant healthcare reform will be referred to Medicare For All and not Obamacare For All. LBJ will continue to cast a long and significant shadow.

    Because Ellen already holds that position.

    As Fred Clark pointed out when the Million Moms tried to call for a JC Penney boycott because Ellen was the new spokeswoman, at least half of the women on their email list didn’t get to the email right away because they were watching “Ellen” like they do every day.
