Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The words do not have to be perfect.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

It’s the corruption, stupid.

    More than 200 people who were mass-arrested at the Washington, D.C. protests against the inauguration of Donald Trump have been hit with felony riot charges that are punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Those picked up in the sweep—including legal observers and journalists—had their phones, cameras and other personal belongings confiscated as evidence, a lawyer confirmed to AlterNet.

Create a fiction that whites may find believable, define foreigners and people of color and agitators as the problem, crack down on the disorder and ‘riots’ and make himself be seen as legitimate.

    A question for the women in the audience who wear make-up. I know nothing about the application of make-up and I’ve always favored the natural look, but when I see Kellyanne AF Conway, I can’t help but wonder — Does she apply her eye make-up with a trowel, a shovel, a backhoe, or a fire hose? Or is there an option I’m leaving out?

    @efgoldman:

    Were most of those arrested, the black bloc assholes?

    I think that’s the big question at the moment. DC Metro police and U.S. Park Police have had to pay out large settlements in the past for kettling (assuming that’s what happened here) that ensnared a lot of innocent bystanders, journalists and observers. From Wikipedia:

    Anti-Globalization movement, Washington D.C., 2002
    As part of ongoing anti-globalization demonstrations and early demonstrations against the impending invasion of Iraq, several hundred protesters and bystanders were kettled in Pershing Park and subsequently arrested, resulting in large, sometimes record-breaking class-action settlements and ongoing litigation to restrict the practice.

    So earlier a lot of folks were saying it’s no big deal that, especially after the Saturday women’s march, Dems were voting to confirm some of Trump’s cabinet.

    Myself and a few others couldn’t understand the upside at all. We werent starting purity purges or suggesting any consequences but we were trying to understand why they wouldn’t vote no on pics that at the least, aren’t qualified.

    I just don’t get it. Others I’ve observed saying the same thing are also wondering why they seem so divorced from the base after that huge show of resistance on Saturday. These should be easy no votes.

    @JordanRules: I think the theory goes like this. Each session starts with x number of comity points. Every time an opposition party makes things difficult, they lose comity points. These can be redeemed for things like the bipartisan immigration bill from a few years back.

    Maybe the senate used to even work this way, I’m not a parliamentary historian but the conventional wisdom is this started to break down between the Bork and Thomas nominations and was gone by the Clinton impeachment.

    Things seem to sort of operate like this, in a twisted way, where the x number of comity points you start with is 10,000 with a democratic majority and 10 with a republican majority.

    So they’re hoarding comity points, for all the good it will do.

    @JordanRules: of the ones who have been confirmed so far, the only one that really troubles me is Pompeo. Carson is a fool, but I’m not worried he’ll be around long. Elaine Chao was already a cabinet secretary for bush, so it’s not like they would vote away onevof the few people with actual experience. While Halley isn’t qualified to be UN ambassador, at least she didn’t give answers that indicated that she’s a NWO conspiracy nut. Kelly will build a wall and will provably efficiently put in place Trumps immigration nuts. But he at least as a general seemed to be able to follow the rules and isn’t tied to militia or vigilantes. Everyone on the committee voted against Tillerson. They will all vote against DeVoss. They’ve delayed sessions (probably hoping he’ll be charged with something). But I think Pompeo, Mattis and Kelly are probably rushed through because no one wants a finger pointed at them if there should be some kind of attack. If we didn’t want Trumps cabinet, more of us should have voted. As it stands we are short handed.

    @Peale: You give good reasons why these should have been easy no votes.

    The security concern is a good point that I hadn’t considered for those particular picks but then you fall into the same space as the folks who posited that they were still trying to avoid ‘both sides’ accusations in this crazy climate. They are going to blame us regardless. How many positions that are generally filled during the transition still aren’t? And if they are really bad picks maybe they just shouldn’t be in place. So many seem like easy no votes that would confirm to a scared base that is getting threatened and more terrified each news cycle that they are all in with us.

    They have made some good strong moves too. The shout out to Vlad in the DNC statement today about the gag orders was great.

    If we didn’t want Trumps cabinet, more of us should have voted.

    This cannot be overstated. It has to be a central part of the motivation for 2018.

    @JordanRules:

    What really is exhausting is the endless and unapologetic lying. The public faces of the administration — Trump, AF Conway, and Spicer — are all experienced liars. I already knew what to expect from Trump and Conway, but Spicer is new to me. Watching his interview with Axelrod in which he made a big deal out of how he would never lie and then watching him lie his ass off in press briefings makes for quite a jarring contrast. Four years of this…it’s going to be rough.

    @James Powell: It also can’t be stated enough that she received 3 million more votes. I’d like to continue investigations into possible shenanigans also.

    1st election without the VRA is a BFD too.

    @TriassicSands:

    when I see Kellyanne AF Conway, I can’t help but wonder — Does she apply her eye make-up with a trowel, a shovel, a backhoe, or a fire hose?

    I believe a simple palette knife would be enough, as long as she didn’t disturb the base coat more than once a week.

    Seriously, though — if you had Conway’s job, would you want to look yourself in the eyes long enough to do a good job?

    Seriously, Anne, if I had Conway’s job, I’d spend most of my time staring into the muzzle of one of my 100+ handguns hoping for the courage to pull the trigger.

    I am hoping for a MI.

    Stroke or aneurysm would work, too.

    I was going to posit a head a-splodin’, but your alternative is more likely. (But mine might make for better soundbite.)

    It’s applied with a makeup gun set to “Dessicated Bunny Ranch Retiree.”

    Fortunately, press secretaries seldom last 4 years. The concern is, who would Trump replace Spicer with? Undoubtedly someone worse!

    One “tell” about habitual liars, they always tell you that they NEVER tell falsehoods, never. So when someone tells you how honest they are, grab your wallet and hang on tight. And don’t believe another word they say.

    @TriassicSands: Perhaps I can offer some insight. My granddaughter, though only 18′ is somewhat of a makeup expert. She’s graduating in theater from the local arts high school. Her makeup is always impeccable, though sometimes dramatic and she does makeup for their stage productions. She was doing the make up for a haunted house they were putting on at Halloween and I went with her to get supplies. When I asked her who would carry what she would need she said the drug store would be fine. “You just use the regular make up, but use it all wrong “. Add a little red food color and corn syrup for blood and voilà.

    @Peale: well, they should recognize it now. I kind of get the vote for Mattis, though. From what I hear, he’s not completely horrible and Sec’y of Defense is not a job one wants to leave vacant, or leave one’s self open to blame for the vacancy and it’s not like they’re going to get anybody better from Trump.
