Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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

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

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

We will not go back.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

I do not recognized the Ferguson I am in currently.

— Wesley Lowery (@WesleyLowery) August 14, 2014

Wesley Lowery’s Twitter is worth a look tonight. Looks like some reasonable police are finally on the ground in Ferguson.

    Chris Hayes is reporting from Ferguson. Hopefully, at night fall things will remain calm but as of now, it’s like a block party. .

    The “last night vs tonight” photos are amazing.

    Shocking, how relaxed people get when not facing down a militia in their front yards.

    No doubt Hannity was hoping for a bloodbath.

    @Violet:

    The “last night vs tonight” photos are amazing.

    Indeed; for example, this pair, retweeted in Lowery’s twitter stream.

    We can effect change. It takes too long. It costs too much in terms of blood and treasure.
    But we can effect positive change.

    Try not to forget this.

    Apparently the Missouri Highway Patrol have taken over street policing duties from the Ferguson PD.

    As long as this kind of change can be forced by national media coverage, we’re not fully locked into a police state yet. America still seems to me to be very much in a pre-fascist condition…but we ain’t there yet.

    @mclaren: You would consider a paper cut a “pre-decapitation condition.”
