Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Bark louder, little dog.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Come on, man.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

No Justins, No Peace

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

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

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

Video Test The Third

Bonus Video for Doug J above (if you can see it) – always loved your post titles, and I’m not sure if you have heard this great album from DD and The Specials. It’s gold.

 

=====================

Text Edited to reflect current videos:

 

I’m trying some things out real quick before updating the theme.

So..if you see five videos below that’s correct. That means you don’t see the top one.

    lol so there’s some kind of wacky bug – off by one – .I just added another video and so now we see two.

    I’m taking a short walk break to clear my head then updating the theme. Thanks to all who answered, it confirms it’s not just me!

    wow so one sees the correct view ( I don’t on the post, but in the editor, etc. all four show up and work).

    So weird; ok, I’m going to hope that updating the theme will reset that.

    By the way, it appears all youtube videos load twice: the video image appears, then vanishes, then loads again and stays. It’s been doing that for a looooong time.
    Firefox, Windows

    January 25, 2017 at 2:50 pm

    @Alain the site fixer: I see all four. But the real question is can you make this work with the embed code for a news life feed. Whether from C-Span or CNN or NBC or a local news affiliate. That’s my real issue.

  36. 36.

    @Adam L Silverman: I know. I’m, seeing weird behavior so I’m trying to suss out where/what. Not to seem snippy – I have an innate software tester nature and so when I see something not work right, I need to keep testing and playing with it.

    Anyway, I just updated the site’s files. Now I’ll add in our customizations.

    @Alain the site fixer: No worries. I’m not complaining. You’ll know if I’m complaining… But since you’re trying to address an issue for me, I wanted to make sure you aware of the exact issue.

    good videos, but Paul Simon is a fucking piece of shit.

    Yeah, yeah. And he says, “What are you doing defending this guy Mandela?! He’s obviously a communist. My friend Henry Kissinger told me about where all of the money’s coming from,” and all of this. I was, like, all due respect, Paul…

    There are quite a few more articles about Paul Simon, who tried to keep Mandla in prison and (from the article) “recorded tracks for his Graceland album in South Africa, in direct violation of the cultural boycott.”

    January 25, 2017 at 3:27 pm

    Alain, is there anyway we can see the post a commentator is responding to, besides scrolling to the original post?

  49. 49.

    chris

    January 25, 2017 at 3:35 pm

    See 5 videos, no comment numbers and no down button

    @SFBayAreaGal: lol I changed the post to test. Think the ghost is out of the system. Now there are five videos and there should be. Hopefully they will comitnue to work. Now for theme edits…

    January 25, 2017 at 3:42 pm

    I’m still at five (now) and Biko has definitely joined the lot. Bog standard Mr Pad with Safari, up to date. and my nym didn’t go walkabout this time.

  53. 53.

    SFBayAreaGal

    January 25, 2017 at 4:02 pm

    Lol Alain. When I said 6 I included the bonus video in the count.

  56. 56.

    ThresherK

    January 25, 2017 at 4:04 pm

    I am on my Windows 7 and now cannot see post numbers (Firefox, Opera).

    The five videos show fine.

  57. 57.

    Aleta

    January 25, 2017 at 4:06 pm

    All five are showing in chrome.

    In case it’s helpful: in safari where I have 3 extensions blocking stuff, two are prevented from display. #1 (Biko, at the top) and # 4 (Bow Down) are blocked, while the rest show.

  58. 58.

    @SFBayAreaGal:

    You can click the nym of the person being replied to (in the reply) and it will take you to the original comment. Then (when the back button is working right), you can use the back button to come back to the reply. You can use this method to go through whole chains of comments and replies.

    January 25, 2017 at 5:07 pm

    BTW, note to Alain: there should be a thin horizontal line between front page posts, I think. Something to mark where one ends and the next one begins…

  62. 62.

    Bill T.

    January 25, 2017 at 6:08 pm

    In Reeder (a Mac RSS reader), I only see the Housemartins. In Chrome on the Mac I see 5 videos.
