Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Second rate reporter says what?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

He really is that stupid.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We still have time to mess this up!

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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.”
