Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

How stupid are these people?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

Let there be snark.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

We will not go back.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

From commentor ET:

This is my nut Bean. Back in 2013 I adopted him from a rescue group in D. C. but he was born in West Virginia. He has been a total (wonderful) nut with an obsession for the cat TVs (aka windows). Not much of a talker my Snowshoe Siamese, but he is a champion cuddler.

***********
I always have a soft spot for meezers, since I probably wouldn’t be here without one (my dad convinced my mom to marry him by offering her a purebred Siamese — still rare in the mid-1950s — instead of an engagement ring).

What’s on the agenda as we (well, many of us) start another work week?

    Sanders also said his campaign would talk to the superdelegates in states where he had won “landslide victories” and tell them to, “Do what the people in your state want. They voted for Bernie Sanders, you as the superdelegates should follow their wishes.”

    The Vermont senator went on to say that he would also talk with the superdelegates who sided with Clinton before the primary votes were cast.

    ***

    [Chuck] Todd told Sanders he was contradicting himself.

    “You’re saying you want them to respect the vote in their state, then at the same time, you say, ‘But oh, by the way, for those of you that are a superdelegate in a state that Clinton won, why don’t you think about the general election?’ It’s a little bit hypocritical to be on both sides of those issues,” Todd said.

    “No, no, no, that’s not what I’m saying,” Sanders responded.

    Good Times.

    Trump camp concedes it’s low on money

    Donald Trump’s campaign has alerted Senate Republicans that he won’t have much money to spend fending off attacks from Hillary Clinton over the next couple months.

    The notice came when Paul Manafort, Trump’s senior advisor, met with a group of Senate Republican chiefs of staff for lunch last week, sources familiar with the meeting told the Washington Examiner. The admission suggests that Trump will be far more dependent on the GOP brass for money than he has led voters to believe, but it’s consistent with his reliance on the Republican National

    “They know that they’re not going to have enough money to be on TV in June and probably most of July, until they actually accept the nomination and get RNC funds.

    Con man says he’s worth 10 billion yet he doesn’t have a dime for the campaign.

    The best part, by bleeding the RNC dry they won’t have funds to save the Senate.

    They need someone who would capture votes from Democrats and democratic leaning independents for that plan to work. If it’s just the Republican vote being split, the net impact would be Hillary picking up additional States like Georgia, Indiana and Missouri.

    @efgoldman: I think I can go to Santa Monica for $6 round trip, I promised Baud that I’d go down there and take some pics with my IR camera. The nurse told me to not get too much sun until my wound heals, about a week she said.

    Refreshing candor from an astronaut who spent nearly a year on the space station.

    “When I got out of the Soyuz … I didn’t really look too bad,” Kelly told a packed auditorium at Nasa headquarters in Washington. “But that was only because I’m a very good actor. I think I should be nominated for an Academy Award.”
    [snip]
    In fact, as his Russian Soyuz capsule approached the orbiting outpost in March 2015, Kelly said to himself, “Man, this is probably a really dumb idea to be spending a year on the space station.” His previous station stay, five years earlier, had lasted barely five months.

    “This flight was twice as long and I felt twice as bad,” he said. Source

    I wonder how effective spending on advertising will be against Trump. By the time you decide to make an ad, he’s swerved away from what you’re attacking. If you can buy GOTV, that might be her best option.
    Trump will be relying on the MSM covering his antics for free.

    I already have a couple of ads written in my head.

    “What is Trumps position on (name an issue)?”
    “Well, today is Tuesday, so… Who the fuck knows?”

    Found this little gem floating around the internet. It’s… hard to watch… but worth doing so. (Warning: images of 60’s era violence) —

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=85&v=gFZ-1EojoFM

    It is audio from Trump’s rallies, of him egging on the violence, overlayed of images of the violence during the civil rights era.

    I think that could make a good, mocking ad, and I’m hoping they’re rehearsing some lines like this for the debate

    He is quite similar to my own snowshoe, who so many of you have been so generous to. Binkley is very vocal, tho. But then I always speak back to him.
    Thanks, everyone who helped. He may yet need another enema, but otherwise he’s very much recovered.

    I grew up with a succession of meezers, so I’ve always had a soft spot for them. My lilac-point, Marvin, often makes me crazy, but hey, that’s what meezers are supposed to do. And although he talks a lot, he doesn’t have the loud voice one expects from a meezer, although Keyser, the elderly and itty-bitty Balinese (who’s like half-Siamese) fills that gap in the household. I’d really like to get a couple of seal-point males from the same litter so Marvin would have somebody to annoy him as much as he annoys everybody else, but were I to get them, the spousal unit would banish me and the cats to the back yard.
