Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

You can’t love your country only when you win.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Early Morning Oddity Open Thread: Another Faux News Star Loses It

I'm not a journalist jackass. I'm a talk host. https://t.co/fj1ZCsAEL4

— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) October 26, 2016

Of course Sean Hannity jumped on the Trump Train early, because Donald Trump is the guy Hannity always aspired to be. But the Trump campaign is a corrosive bath, an acid that strips all it contacts down to whatever bones they possess. Per the NYDN [warning: autoplay]:

Conservative commentator Sean Hannity offered to fund President Obama’s post-election flight to Africa should Donald Trump snag the title of commander-in-chief…

“You want to go to Canada,” Hannity said. “I’ll pay for you to go to Canada. You want to go to Kenya? I’ll pay for you to go to Kenya. Jakarta, where you went to school back in the day, you can go back there.”

Hannity had only one caveat for Obama. “You can’t come back,” he added.

Hannity even worked out the logistics. He would charter Trump’s private jet for the one-way trip and stock it with caviar and champagne…

Hannity publicly offered to send Obama away following Monday’s remarks from White House press secretary Josh Earnest that evaded whether Obama would join droves of voters — even celebrities — planning to ditch the United States if Trump wins the November election.

“He’s working very hard to make sure that nobody has to leave the country as a result of an electoral outcome that the President doesn’t support,” Earnest said.

Liberal media. It's was Josh Ernest who refuse to amswee teh ? Will Obama stay in the US if DT wins. I mentioned I'd pay a charter to …..

Hannity’s meltdown, like a ripening boil, seems to have been incubating for a while now…

Senator Wiki has done the USA a great service. 1) he showed us we have no cyber security. 2) He has exposed how corrupt our government is. https://t.co/nNuEGfbdxU

    At this point, whatever Hannity says or Tweets is not important and even though I see AL has devoted space for him here (for some reason beyond my skill) I choose not to care and not to read. He and his ilk are unable to influence this election – at least in the way he would like to. It is out of his hands. Nov. 8 will be a great day, we just don’t know how great. Thus I refuse to give any attention to those voices who are trying to stir up shit in support of their lost cause.

    On an amusing note, Ukrainian hax0rz are now targeting the email accounts of Russian officials (saw it on LGF).

    Well, I try to save it for the pre-dawn low-impact time slots, but there’s a certain morbid fascination in watching all the separate “eternal” Reich-defenders drop away into betrayal or oblivion.

    @different-church-lady: I guess you put a finger on it. I never enjoyed trash talk. I grew up, many decades ago among those quiet midwestern, stoic farmer types. Stoicism even extended to HS sports where our football coach’s ethos was to quietly kick the crap out of the other team – let the score and the bruises on their bodies do the talking. Obviously, I seldom watch pro sports these days.

    @Steve in the ATL: For the time being, because of work. But I do like seeing the sun come up, so I’ll probably always want to be up before 6. (My current alarm setting of 4:15 is a little early for my tastes).

    But I also like staying up past midnight and those two things aren’t very compatible.

    I know conservatives complain that Hollywood doesn’t represent their values very well, and as far as conservative complaints go, that one has a degree of truth to it. But it occurred to me that liberal Democrats don’t have a news media that represents our values very well either. I would like to stay informed, but it’s as if the media physically drives me away. I find it depressing.

    Shifted from Morning Blow bs about NYT obsessing over the Clinton Foundation to CNN, where they tell me they are moving various swing states to Trump cause… HORSERACE must never end.

    Thank god for web based rational content, and 538.com analysis of same data.which pretty clearly debunks CNN baloney.

    But on the other hand, horserace hyping probably good to keep Clinton forces motivated to turn out the vofe.

    Who goes to a WH press conference and asks whether the president of the United States intends to flee the country if the candidate for the opposing party wins the election? Who does that? And why do they view the US as some tinpot country where the dominant party jails and/or exiles leaders of the opposition?

    There is something seriously wrong with Republicans.
