Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

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

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

American History and Black History can not be separated.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

This fight is for everything.

I voted for Hillary Clinton to be the first woman President this afternoon, and therefore refuse to let the antics of the dying Repub party and its worst adherents harsh my considerable mellow.

First blowback from the big Bloomberg article. Rick Hasen, at his highly respected LawBlog:

Breaking: DNC Asks for RNC to Be Held in Contempt, Voter Intimidation Consent Decree Extended 8 More Years
Back in August, I blogged about how Donald Trump could be violating a longstanding consent decree against the RNC engaging in “ballot security” measures which have been found to intimidate minority voters. I explained how the consent decree began in the 1980s, was extended by the courts over RNC’s objection (which went all the way to the Supreme Court in an unsuccessful effort to get them involved), and now expires in 2017 unless extended for up to another 8 years by order of the Court. I explained that there were two issues: first, was Trump engaging in voter intimidation activities (it looked like he had) and second, whether Trump could be seen as an “agent” of the RNC (because the decree applies only to the RNC, its employees, and agents)…

Well now it’s happened. The DNC filed papers saying that the RNC, through Trump’s actions has already violated the consent decree, and asks for another 8-year extension…

For full details and useful links — read the whole thing.

Apart from that, what’s on the agenda tonight?

    Contribute, GOTV and vote. Then on Nov 9, no matter what, go after the GOP, since not a whole lot of difference between vast majority of their office holders and leaders on the one hand, and Trump on the other. The serious daddy money suits just have a more suave and disciplined presentation, with more organizational skills.

    And looks like what is left of GOP with any principles is irrelevant few non office holding souls in ‘Mormon Mafia’ hunkered down in Utah. Which is an odd position for a one of the wings of the devious and all-powerful global HRC-Democratic-corporate media-Establishment GOP-survey statistician-Chinese-funded-climate-scientist-local-precinct-polling-official conspiracy. Chaffetz won’t endorse or support Trump, for the sake of morality and decency, just will vote for him. That leaves the occultated Rombot and the intrepid McMullin.

    So, some maybe positive news. An organization I work for has been running a Mock Election for K-12 schools here in Florida, all across the state, and so far, 75,000 students have voted. Clinton leads trump by about 30,000 of those votes. REALLY praying that the research is correct and that a student’s political beliefs are most often influenced by their parents and that this reflects good news.

    I’ll be honest – I have little tolerance for readers who show up here looking for reassurance in the Presidential race. Occasionally I run into people who say they come to my site and feel relieved. The implied complacency is annoying. It is antithetical to why I do this.

    I view PEC as a tool for directing your positive energies to make a difference. Instead of staring at polling sites all the time at the Presidential race, which is basically decided, I have a better idea: work on races where we genuinely don’t know what will happen. Senate control is totally up in the air. There is Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania…so much to do. Donate your time and money to the side that you favor.

    Politico has a piece up about YOLObama. Bams is having a ball on the trail.

    Obama is having a really, really, really good time, loving the love, loving all the people now knocking on the White House doors appealing for his help — and he wants everyone to know it.

    “You’re still fired up,” Obama said, as he entered to cheers in the backyard of one of his early donors Monday morning in La Jolla, California, looking out at the Pacific Ocean in front of him.

    The polls help: He’s supercompetitive, and there’s nothing he likes more than winning. Except, maybe, a crowd going wild cheering for him. Or making fun of Trump. Or sticking it to the Republicans who did everything they could to attack him the past eight years, only to produce this campaign.

    And of course the pure joy in his eyes put pure joy in my heart:

    But before he’s done, he’s got some scores to finish settling. There was pure joy in his eyes Sunday night as he tore into Darrell Issa, the congressman who launched a thousand investigations into the White House the past six years, only to brag about working with the president in a mailer now that he’s in danger of losing his seat.

    The whole article is full of win, especially tonight.

    Can you explain in layman’s terms what the extension of this decree means?

    I understand that it’s supposed to stop voter intimidation, but I don’t understand how it stops anything. I mean, can’t Trump still go out in a rally and talk about “observing certain polling places”? How is it violated and what are the repercussions?

    If you don’t feel like typing a wall of text, could you point me in a direction where I could learn more about it?

    A few open threads ago my golden boy, Tom Brady, came in for a round of Balloon Juice whipping as he often does as the alleged poster boy for white privilege. I wanted to jump in at the time with a lifeline for him, but was predisposed, so let me address some of the main attacks made on him here:
    1. When he attended the Bush State of the Union, which is often taken as prima facie evidence that he’s a right-winger, Bush popularity was sitting north of 60% and he had yet to start the Iraq War, so for Brady to protest back then by refusing the invitation (which he did not seek), that would’ve made him the most prescient 24-year old in the country.
    2. When he didn’t show up at the Obama White House to celebrate the Pats Super Bowl two years ago that was because he was generally pissed about the whole deflategate affair and had virtually stopped talking and appearing in public.
    3. He never endorsed Trump. After stumbling into a joke about how great it would be for Trump to win and put a golf course on the WH lawn, he quite clearly stated that he wasn’t endorsing anyone. He did the same thing in ’04 when John Kerry tried to recruit him for his campaign.Even his biographer Charles Pierce has admitted that he can’t divine Brady’s politics, though given that his family is of that strain of social conscience Catholics, it’s unlikely that he’s a true Trumpian.
    All that being said, he and the Pats do have a potential Trump problem as I discuss here:

    @MomSense: Yes, Absentee Voting and Early Voting are two different things. They are each independently allowed/embraced differently by different states and/or counties. I live in WV — absentee voting is fairly restrictive, you need to request an absentee ballot and you have to have a good reason why you cannot vote in person. And it is a multi-step process: submit request, receive ballot, return ballot. Early voting, in my county, can be done by any person, but it must be done at the county courthouse — 25 miles away from me. Personally, I am looking forward to voting (by OptiScan Ballot) on November 8th at my local Ruritan Park, a mere 5 mile drive, with a short line and (mostly) recognizable poll workers. Even though all of my (Dem) candidates will, in all probability, lose.

    JanieM

    October 28, 2016 at 12:44 am

    @MomSense:

    Absentee ballots can be challenged.

    For the record:

    In Maine, a challenged ballot means a ballot cast by one whose eligibility to vote has been questioned during election day.

    All challenged ballots are initially counted in the same manner as regular ballots. No further determination is made on the challenge unless a recount occurs and it is determined that the challenged ballot could affect the outcome of the election. Therefore, all challenged ballots cast in districts where no recounts occur will have been counted.

    If one of the candidates in an election or one side of a referendum question, requests a recount and there are enough challenged ballots to affect the outcome of the election, then the challenged ballots in that district will be segregated, and the basis for each challenge may be determined by the appropriate authority designated by statute or by state or federal constitution.

    This not one of my big worries in life. ;-)

    Here’s a secret for you — EVERY Broadway musical of the last 40 years (at a minimum) is on tape and in a vault. There is apparently a way that you can make a request to see a specific one, but you have to have a book contract or approved dissertation.

    As far as Hamilton goes, LMM has always said that they will eventually release something with the original cast, but the rights are very complicated because of the way Broadway plays are financed. I wouldn’t expect to see a thing until at least after the first national tour is completed.

    And if you miss it at the Pantages, it will be in Costa Mesa for their 2017-2018 season.
