Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

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

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

Let there be snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Bark louder, little dog.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The words do not have to be perfect.

How About “Fuck You Right in the Eye?”

This fucking asshat:

WikiLeaks suggested on Sunday that its founder, Julian Assange, should lead the U.S.-Russian cyber security unit after President Trump announced the idea on Twitter.

“Why not put @JulianAssange in charge of it? He’s trusted by the public and has the CIA’s best stuff anyway,” WikiLeaks tweeted, replying to Trump’s tweet announcing he and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the idea.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/09/us/politics/trump-russia-kushner-manafort.html

    President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton before agreeing to meet with a Kremlin-connected Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign, according to three advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting and two others with knowledge of it.

    The meeting was also attended by his campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Mr. Manafort and Mr. Kushner only recently disclosed the meeting, though not its content, in confidential government documents described to The New York Times.

    The Times reported the existence of the meeting on Saturday. But in subsequent interviews, the advisers and others revealed the motivation behind it.

    The meeting — at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, two weeks after Donald J. Trump clinched the Republican nomination — points to the central question in federal investigations of the Kremlin’s meddling in the presidential election: whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians. The accounts of the meeting represent the first public indication that at least some in the campaign were willing to accept Russian help.

    Julian Assange: Not trusted by the public, knowingly took Russian hacked and stolen information in order to damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential chances.

    I don’t advise violence as a solution, but someone needs to go punch Assange in the nuts for a few hours.

    @Hal: Gotta love this:

    The accounts of the meeting represent the first public indication that at least some in the campaign were willing to accept Russian help.

    1. The first public indication, other than Trump literally fucking asking for Russian help in a campaign speech.

    2. “some in the campaign” apparently means Trump’s son, his son-in-law who is currently very highly placed in the administration, and his goddamned campaign manager. How is this “some in the campaign” and not “the campaign”, you worthless twits?

    HA! Forget how the public looks at him. Assange is a paranoid of the ‘assassins are hiding in the bushes’ level. It would be a hilarious clusterfuck that accomplishes nothing, like four fifths of Trump’s executive plans.

    @Hal:
    Isn’t that flat-out, no-guesswork collusion? The fire the smoke implied was happening?

    So maybe all these firings were to protect Kushner and Don Jr. Don Jr. especially, because in the end Trump probably doesn’t five a fuck about anyone not directly related to him by blood. I cannot believe that Trump did not know about this meeting at least after the fact.

    In the end, he gives a flying fuck about NOBODY other than himself.
    If it comes to saving his own ass, he’ll lie, cheat and steal to shift the blame on to every fucking one of them: Princess Ivanka, Kushkie, Uday, Qusay, whoever. All under the bus :::thump:::thump:::

    @MisterForkbeard: This kind of understatement is for the lawyers. Or else for the sources. The journalistic credo is not to draw conclusions beyond what your sources are willing to support. That accounts for a lot of the wobbly language you read in these reports.

    @? ?? Goku (aka The Hope of the Universe) ? ?: Not that long ago I sat on a jury for a case that almost literally adjudicated that situation. It was astonishing how easily the defendant’s justifications then sound like Trump’s now.

    SOB found guilty on all counts then. Hoping for the same here…and soon. While we still have a justice system.

    @? ?? Goku (aka The Hope of the Universe) ? ?: some folks just don’t want to give up on what they hoped would be people who represented themselves as champions for truth and justice only to find that their supposed paladins were tainted, stained and not who they claimed to be.

    sure, I go into this knowing that that US no longer has a claim on any kind of moral superiority and can still improve in many ways, but I have a hard time buying into any political savior wanna-be that has to hide out in an embassy to avoid the legalities of what they’ve allegedly done.
