Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Everybody saw this coming.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

The choice is between normal and crazy.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Another Horrible Day in Post-Racial America

The president of Howard University announced Thursday increased security on campus and nearby metro stations after a racist death threat was posted on an online forum:

“I left MU yesterday because I didn’t want to put up with it anymore,” the commenter wrote. “I go home to MD and what do I see? The same old shit. Turn on the news and it’s always n****rs causing trouble everywhere. So I’ve decided. Any n****rs left at Howard University after 10 tomorrow will be the first to go,” the message continued. “And any of those cheapstake [SIC] n****rs who try to get out using the metro will regret that choice real fast. … After all, it’s not murder if they’re black.”

Yup, just another day in post-racial America.

Team Blackness also discussed a nationwide walkout planned by students calling for free tuition, Obama’s historic cover shot on LGBT magazine Out, and Missy Elliot returns and she’s hot like fire.

    There is no such thing as “free tuition.” There is only “tuition paid by somebody else.” If you want to argue that post-secondary education has enough ROI for society at large that it ought to be treated as a public good, feel free–but at least reject this stupid framing.

    Unfortunate and disturbing but no worse than a college professor calling for “muscle” to forcibly remove an Asian American journalist from a demonstration. Or the never ending black on black crime in america.

    On the subject of disturbing, black students at Michigan Tech in Houghton, Michigan (the Upper Peninsula) were under what was called a “credible threat” today.

    I rode an elevator several times (I frequently use it) yesterday. During these trips, the looks on some of the non-black faces ran the gamut from mild apprehension to fairly deep fear. I was carrying an old turntable at one point; obviously a black man with a record player is extremely dangerous in the eyes of some folks.

    Thanks again for pointing out the ignorance and fear out here, Elon. It’s not uplifting, but at least I know where I stand.

    Tone- they weren’t fearful of you it was what u were carrying. Probably looked like a bomb.

    Obviously, the real problem is rampant political correctness on America’s college campuses.
