Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

The willow is too close to the house.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Everybody saw this coming.

He really is that stupid.

PBO had to endure white assholes’ otherization to win the presidency. HRC has to endure a sexist psychopath’s condescension and abuse.

I’m watching through my fingers, as if viewing a slasher film. I think she’s wiping the floor with him. What do you think? Open thread.

I am telling you these debates are a good thing because they give less informed people a chance to see Hillary without all the media bias. And they like her!

    @Run, Lillian!:

    My sister, who doesn’t like Hils but hates Trump and is voting against him has gotten sucked into the debate and is now cheering on Hillary. She is thoroughly impressed. I am telling you these debates are a good thing because they give less informed people a chance to see Hillary without all the media bias. And they like her! My sis is a classic ‘independent’ (undecided)- voted Obama 08 and Romney 12. Hillary is winning her over from a never Trump to a Yay Hillary.

    YES. I have a good friend who is completely apolitical, but (because of the groping tape), she’s watching the debate and cheering Hillary on. She will be voting for the first time in 12+ years, for Hillary. Trump distaste is just that strong.

    If Clinton behaved toward Trump in a manner similar to his treatment of her, she would have spent half the debate calling Trump a pig and the other half, while he was talking, repeatedly saying Oink Oink Oink into the mike.

    @cmorenc:

    Chris Wallace was much better and fairer as moderator than many of us on the progressive side expected. I’d even go as far as saying he was “fair and balanced” – unlike the day-to-day practice of the Fox network he works for.

    Is this a case of lowered expectations? I thought he was awful and clearly had his thumb on the scale. On the plus side, Hillary took on both Wallace and Trump and dominated.

    I am both disgusted by and embarrassed for anyone who is a Trump supporter after all this.

    (Trying 3rd time…)

    Someone said we need a thread on EV and popular votes. I think Sam at PEC is doing a great job, but I think his analysis is based on a lagging indicator. Yeah, things haven’t changed much over the last year or so, but that was before most people were really paying attention.

    PEC: Hillary: 337 / Donnie: 201

    My feeling is she’ll do better than Obama did in 2008 because Trump is so very much worse than McCain, and because people are feeling better about the economy, and because there has been a huge surge in voter registrations over the last 8 years – 200 M registered voters.

    Me: Hillary: 375+ / Donnie: 163

    Senate: D
    House: Very close to D

    Popular vote: 57%/40%/3% others

    You?

    Cheers,

    Does anyone expect Trump to act like a decent human being instead of the egomaniac that he is? Of course he’s not going to accept that a girl whooped his behind given his sense of entitlement.

    Who cares if he doesn’t accept the outcome of the election? He will still have lost — and hopefully he drags down the rest of his Party with him.

    the best by Trump so far.

    After the first 2, this one had to be better – thus said, the goon had help from the moderator – all the questions were directed towards very basic issues that he might understand.

    My disgust was at the beginning – wh0 debates SCOTUS and the constitution by discussing abortion and the 2nd amendment. Those 2 topics are ALL the orange excuse for a person knows about SCOTUS and the constitution. I found the questions and followup insulting to anyone who has read the constitution – and the goon sure has not.
