Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t trust women.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

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

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

A consequence of cucumbers

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

This blog will pay for itself.

I’m sure that’ll turn out to be Martha Coakley’s fault, too also.

    How many states does that make now? It’s already over the 50% mark at this rate, right?

    Fucking assholes.

    I thought the governors have no say in the issue? This is hearsay, and I’d love confirmation or rejection.

    @Kryptik: Also, morons. Most of the terrorists ID’d so far are French and Belgium citizens. So cowards and/or knaves missing the main thing to worry about: disaffected home grown terrorists. But that is an actual problem and people will demand actual realistic plans to deal with that. Better to focus on something easy to yell about.

    Refusing to deal with the refugee crisis is an easy solution to the wrong problem. Then when not dealing with that leads to more problems, there is always Obama to blame.

    Give me your tired, your poor,
    Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
    Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

    GREAT article by Dan Balz at the WaPo, with Cruz in all his “aren’t I smart?” glory.

    Key quote (and I believe I have pointed this out before, that only Washington GOPers actually hate Cruz):

    Cruz wears with pride his quarrels with GOP leaders in Washington. “I’ll give you a very simple syllogism that my chief strategist laid out at the beginning,” Cruz said. “ ‘America hates Washington. Washington hates you. That ain’t bad.’ ”

    Hey, I have an idea. Get cleek to write a script that will randomly point the carnival barker png location to one of the comics sites like xkcd, where every comic is numerically ordered. Like:

    http://xkcd.com/%5BN%5D

    Then we’d have a rotating default, which apparently isn’t a default, because even though a pic of the BC comic was selected, we still have carnival barker bro too.

    It’s good that so many of you are spending so much time in moderation. Truth be told, I think you talk to much and should be more doers like Jeb.

    [ironical, my first post to hit moderation – I bet that word is verboten]

    @efgoldman:

    Apparently your edition of the book left out the next line: “But not if you’re brown and/or don’t pretend to worship that guy on the cross.”

    Fixed that for you.

    I ain’t no Christian, but then neither are these bible-humping bigots.

    @jl:

    The goal is to make sure that people don’t see ‘immigrant’ or ‘refugee’, they see ‘invading army’. That they don’t see a human, they see a living plague. It’s about the dehumanization of the plight. And that goes for both Da’esh militants and our own right wing nutters: different reasons, same MO and same goal.

    Was the request for a rejiggered Balloon Man serious? Because if so, an attempt was made.

    And who knew that the source for him was some weird Eurotrash silver paint-huffing clown with oversized Mikey Mouse gloves from what appears to be a Stock Photography of the Damned collection?

    Wow. I’ve nearly finished the edit and have completed all the footage sync. And – cautiously – the movie itself doesn’t look bad. I’ve been working for 3 straight days to complete a short the same length as the last pilot I worked on that had a full crew, a dedicated editor etc etc. Amazingly tired. though.

    Best answer is probably “Not really, but…”.

    This overview of the history may be of help. Note the differentiations available to the states (by way of federal statute) applicable to undocumented persons, which ostensibly would not be currently applicable in the case of entry of refugees approved for immigrant status.

    Apparently, all these good Christians have decided to put themselves into the the “Goat” category. Matthew, Chapter 25, Verses 40-46.

    @efgoldman: I don’t understand not at least asking and putting the onus on Abbott. Although, in this case, I am sure Abbott would be more than glad to show boat denying a petition to a guy who burned three little girls, one being his own daughter, to death as an example of why the death penalty is needed. These particular attorneys did do a pretty extensive appeal, but like many death penalty cases, the defense work at trial appears to have been atrocious. They also apparently reconsidered and filed a clemency petition on Holiday’s behalf. http://www.kretzerfirm.com/federal-capital-habeas-petition.pdf
