Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Innocent people do not delay justice.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

How stupid are these people?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Consistently wrong since 2002

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

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

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Late Night Palate Cleanser Open Thread

There are some people so objectively awful that abusing them can be a form of healthy entertainment. SB Nation‘s David Roth takes the pig-bladder to a lovely couple:

Things will be different for the Clippers next season. Everyone on the team will be a year older, teammates will have to deal with Spencer Hawes demanding to listen to Sean Hannity at max volume in the weight room and of course the Western Conference will offer new challenges. Life will go on without exiled owner Donald Sterling, a medically induced erection sculpted out of expired Milk Duds, and will be much more pleasant for that.

And yet all the important things will be the same: there will be the leadership of Doc Rivers on the sideline, the restless virtuosity of Chris Paul on the court and a nightmarish leatherette bigotry sac with the last name Sterling sitting courtside, generally stinking up the joint with the full vinegary force of their repellence.

In this case, it will be Rochelle Sterling, Donald’s estranged wife and longtime partner in discriminatory housing/general bigoted odiousness, who is remaining with the team as a sort of owner emeritus/inoperable non-malignant goiter. She will receive a number of perks and legally-binding superlatives…

    Didn’t Donald Sterling’s “punishment” consist of having to eat a profit of US$1,988 million on the Clippers? Never being able to sit at courtside again seems trivial compared to that.

    Can you help? I have two comments in moderation on the previous thread. One needs to be deleted and the other set free.

    @Amir Khalid: People say that a lot, and yeah, he made a bunch of money. He would’ve made a bunch of money even if he was Gandhi/MLK reborn.

    What’s important is that he was kicked out of one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. That’s what stings.
