Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No Justins, No Peace

The revolution will be supervised.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Republicans don’t trust women.

Let there be snark.

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

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

This really is a full service blog.

It’s a doggy dog world.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“Why isn’t this Snickers bar only a nickle?”

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

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.
