Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

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

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

Please don’t feed the bears.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Republicans would impeach Biden if he bit into a whole Kit Kat rather than breaking the sections apart.

Bark louder, little dog.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Here are my picks for the week:

  
As usual, I really hope I’m wrong about some of them. I’d LOVE to see Lucky Luck and the Colts beat the Patriots, but that’s almost certainly not going to happen, not with the way the Colts have been playing. 

I’d also like to see the Dolphins prevail over the Titans, but I don’t see that happening either. Feel free to tell me how full of crap I am in comments!

    You are zero-full of crap. Great Bills over Bengals pick. (Bills 7-0 so far, went right down the field on their first drive, made the Bengals punt on their first drive). It may not hold up, but the Bills look a lot better then anybody else expected.

    Non-sports-related question (although it was prompted by this thread): Betty Cracker, those hand-drawn circles around the different team names, or sometimes when you draw an arrow or something pointing to a dog or chicken in a photo — is that called “annotation”? And is there a particular app you use to do that?

    @Suzanne: “Sometimes I am shocked by things that people say. If you substitute in the word Jewish or black, you would never say something like that. You’d never say – spoiled rotten or you would never refer to another group of people in the way that it seems perfectly normal to refer to wealth holders.”
    See how easy it was to compare oneself, to those that have been persecuted in the past.
    One thing I’ve learned is, if your only response is, “you are a f,king asshole”, it’s better not to say anything. Not in the case though.

Langone supports Christi, so I guess what he expressed was just bull shit. It’s one thing to pretend to show concern, it’s another to act on it.

    I’m reminded of the scene in the movie The Edge with Anthony Hopkins as megabux and Alec Baldwin as photographer to the supermodels. Hopkins was on the deck of a gorgeous spot, in I think Alaska, early morning and just taking in the beauty of nature around him. The owner of the lodge came out, small talked him for a minute and then started a pitch for investment $ with blueprints and all that. Hopkins seemed saddened and made some comment about a moment of shared humanity (or something).
    Anyway, I’m not wealthy, I don’t feel sorry for them, and if they actually did feel some impetus to improve their life they could do any number of things to both 1) protect themselves and their wealth and 2) make life a lot better for a lot more people who aren’t them or their class.

    I have to say that one of the Bills radio guys called it. “The Bills will score 20 points, an it all comes down to whether or not the defense can keep the Bengals offense under that”. He suspected that with some injuries to the Bills’ secondary, they couldn’t. I’ll have to listen to him more in the future (I don’t usually follow the radio show). The guy seems to know what he’s talking about.

    @schrodinger’s cat: Surgery is on Thursday. Tired but in good spirits. Looking forward to getting this done. She is a person of amazing strength, and I’m lucky to have her in my life.

    One cop I don’t want out patrolling our metroplex.

    One moment stands out for Ted Rose about the night his son was shot to death by Sacramento County sheriff’s Deputy David McEntire. Rose, 54, recalls holding his mentally ill son Johnathan tightly in his arms on Jan. 17, 2012, trying to defuse a confrontation in the living room of their Sacramento home, when the deputy opened fire.

    “I actually felt the bullets riddle through my boy’s body,” said Rose, a pastor at a south Sacramento church. “It’s the most horrible thing.”

    Today, the Rose family is suing the Sheriff’s Department and McEntire over what they contend was the unprovoked and unnecessary shooting of an unarmed 24-year-old schizophrenic who was asleep when McEntire first entered their home. Over the course of developing evidence for the lawsuit, the family’s lawyer said he discovered that McEntire has faced at least a half-dozen internal affairs complaints during his 12 years as a Sacramento County sheriff’s deputy.

    “Deputy McEntire is the only deputy still employed with Sacramento County who has been the subject of six or more excessive force complaints since 2008,” Rose’s attorney, Stewart Katz, wrote in court papers filed in support of the family’s civil rights suit.

    “He’s a habitual, serial excessive-force abuser,” Rose said in a recent interview, noting that his lawsuit is one of three McEntire has faced for allegedly using excessive force.

    Simply cannot imagine the father’s nightmares. Our county sheriff is a big-time gun supporter, issuing far more permits than his predecessor, and I expect Deputy McEntire fits in with the department pretty well.

    @trollhattan: There does seem to be very little that police departments won’t absolve themselves of. They can do no wrong, everything is justifiable by the officers’ fear. In other words, shut up, obey and admire their bravery.

    @Betty Cracker: Who makes it? When I search the app store for Sketches it brings up a million things, none of them titled “Sketches”. It brings up everything sketching related.

    The Bengals look impressive. A powerful, diverse offense, and a strong defense. Great combination.

    The only question is can the Bengals get over being the Bengals? Especially playoff time.

    @WaterGirl: It’s made by Tayasui. It’s a wonderful app, very intuitive for simple doodling but also with more advanced features you can play around with once you get used to it. I’m sure it does tons of things I haven’t stumbled on yet.

    I don’t know that “Chiefs” is a slur, as opposed to the Redskins, which has been a slur for over a hundred years.

    The difference between Mister President and Tricky Dicky, maybe?
