Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

This really is a full service blog.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans do not trust women.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

    Sports commentators and sports analysts are held to a higher standard of professionalism then political journalists in America.

    At the very least sports people have to explain for example why they thought the Cleveland Cavaliers would beat the Warriors. When is the last time someone in politics or the media was called into account for being wrong?

    In a nutshell- accent on “nut”- permit me to present today’s republican party in the words of a typical rank and file member in good standing (courtesy of Bill Curry at Salon.com):

    “..For sheer oddball color, no one beat Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, who summed things up in these lovely words: “To remove the [Confederate] flag… and thinking it would change history would be like removing a tattoo from the corpse of a loved one and thinking it would change a loved one’s obituary.”

    @Archon: two things… first, sports are obviously more important than politics. second, the careers of Colin Cowherd and Skip Bayless suggest that sports analysts aren’t held to that high of a standard.

    ETA: as for your example, those supporting Cleveland just yelled LEBRON JAMES! over and over again, which isn’t much different than a lot of what passes for political analysis.

    Trump just doesn’t go away. SPY magazine was calling him a “short-fingered vulgarian” in 1990; who could have imagined he’d still be trumpeting horseshit and bloviating around the land a quarter of a century later?

    He can’t get the nomination … can he? I honestly don’t know anymore. The only scenario I can come up with that doesn’t seem surreal is Jeb! as the nominee. And I think he’s the only one who has any kind of a chance. My call right now (though it changes with each spin of the Earth) is Jeb!/Walker.

    Trump, remember, is militaristic. In Arizona he told us he was the most militaristic person in the room — a room with a lot people in it, some of whom were surely pretty militaristic. Which makes Trump very militaristic indeed. So if I were El Chapo I would be fretting about having offended someone so militaristic. Because, you know — militaristic. Or something.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a race with this many marquee candidates (Governors and ex-Governors who at least used to be spoken of seriously for the job).

    And we have to remember who is going to be doing to voting during the primaries — the same people who showed up in an off-year election to re-elect Walker, LePage, Rick Scott and more.

    Where did journamalism go so terribly wrong, that it no longer can present even a facsimile of the facts? Halperin just presents low quality bafflegab now, pathetic.

    But seriously, he’s one in a long lineage of cretins who have traded access for reporting. He is, after all, a journamalist who had access to the McCain campaign that foisted Sarah Palin on us all. If that wasn’t the story to break all agreements for the sake of the real story, then Trump, who is widely known, will not cause Halperin to break character. He deserves all the mockery he gets.

    @Renie: If that actually was posted by Guzman (and tweeting when you’re on the run from a jailbreak doesn’t seem too bright) it appeared to me he only threatened to make Trump “eat his words”, using the informal register, of course.

    @beltane:

    But is Donald Trump’s colon as boring and featureless as Uranus?
    Better check that out first before we make predictions.

    @beltane: Donald Trump is 90% large colon, and the other half is mental.

    So he’s only mostly full of shit?

    @zmulls:

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a race with this many marquee candidates

    These are NOT marquee candidates.
    Please familiarize yourself with the meaning of the term.
    I suggest a substitution: “wannabe”.

    Saw James Woolsey on the Snooze Hour this evening. He was muttering something about why we can’t trust Iran. Paraphrasing Woolsey, something something they can lie to infidels and that they are not like the Russians. Sounded really wingnutty.

    @Tree With Water: I’ve always thought the name was darkly ironic, in a GenX (and X-Files) kind of way, but yeah. Not only does it need to go, it should have never been. What a message to send. So inappropriate.

    @beltane: I’m on record for 46% of the popular vote being the GOP floor. That’s John McCain picking Sarah Palin after the collosal fuckup second term of GWB.

    After 8 years of a Democrat in charge, even Trump could get that much. Unless he picks Sarah Palin or Josh Duggar for Veep.
