Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The willow is too close to the house.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Please don’t feed the bears.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Let me file that under fuck it.

No one could have predicted…

Trump thanks blacks for not voting: "The African-American community was great to us…they didn't vote, & that was almost as good for me"

No more pretense, no more dogwhistles, just the bully’s boasts.

The America we'll have left depends on those who will be willing to stand up to the betrayal of our values and looting that's just begun.

And this has been your daily affirmation.

    Out here in Non-Dumbfuckistan, my new state senator is hitting the ground running.

    Within hours of being sworn in this week, [Scott] Wiener introduced legislation aimed at encouraging — and in some cases forcing — cities around California to approve more housing development, especially affordable projects. It’s modeled in part on a law he pushed in San Francisco and in part on a controversial failed proposal by Gov. Jerry Brown.

    from Politico:

    Donald Trump on Friday expressed support for restricting voting rights.

    Stumping for Louisiana Senate candidate John Kennedy, Trump urged supporters to help elect the Republican state treasurer to the U.S. Senate, a victory that would give the GOP a 52-48 majority in the upper chamber.

    But the president-elect also recalled seeing extremely long lines in Florida during the state’s early voting period ahead of Election Day, suggesting “many things can go wrong” with so much time allocated to allow citizens to vote.

    “They had that long early voting in Florida. It’s so long, and so many things can go wrong when you have that long period of time, right?” Trump told the crowd in Baton Rouge. “That long, long, long period. Used to be you’d have a day, you vote. Now you’re going forever. Weeks and weeks.”

    Trump said he was in Florida when he asked, “Wow, what’s happening over there?” at the sight of one line. “I thought it was like a big movie,” he told the crowd. “They said: ‘No, sir, that’s voting. They’re voting.’”
    Trump said they were “voting like really early.” “And we have to discuss that early thing,” he continued. “That’s sort of — so many things are going on. So many things.” The president-elect, who continually suggested throughout his campaign that the election was rigged against him, added that he’s curious about what occurs when early voting precincts are “locked.” “I wonder what happens during the evenings when those places are ‘locked,’ right?” Trump said, using air quotes. “But the Democrats were the people who’d say, ‘Donald Trump is criticizing the foundations of our country.’ Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break.”

    @Aleta: Completely unsurprising that Trump sees people having difficulty voting and coming to the conclusion that voting is too easy.

    You know, I don’t remember him actually saying that it was rigged against him, simply that it was rigged. Maybe he wasn’t complaining, but rather confessing.

    Probably in other places too, but here (NYT link) is the questionnaire that DOE employees were asked to answer.

    I have to say this really freaked me out tonight.

    I think he does that, confesses to things by accusing others. A way of stimulating himself.

    @Kropadope: He was telling us what was happening. He’s done it a lot. He said the election was rigged and he meant it. Believe him when he says things like that. It’s usually projection and he’s telling you what he’s doing.

    Sleazy conman Donald Trump wants to crack down on voting.

    Trump said they were “voting like really early.” “And we have to discuss that early thing,” he continued. “That’s sort of — so many things are going on. So many things.”
    The president-elect, who continually suggested throughout his campaign that the election was rigged against him, added that he’s curious about what occurs when early voting precincts are “locked.”
    “I wonder what happens during the evenings when those places are ‘locked,’ right?” Trump said, using air quotes. “But the Democrats were the people who’d say, ‘Donald Trump is criticizing the foundations of our country.’ Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break.”

    So what do we do if he restricts voting and his AG and DOJ won’t intervene/protect citizens?

    Pool our money, hire private lawyers and take them to court?

    Has there ever been a case in the US where a state sued the federal government for restricting voting? How would that work? What do we do if this out of control nutcase starts restricting voting?

    I know this isn’t the end of american exceptionalism, but I hope this is the point where everyone else laughs when american exceptionalism is cited for making people’s lives in other countries miserable.
