Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

The words do not have to be perfect.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Cole is on a roll !

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

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

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

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

The best yo memo joke I've read all day was the ACTUAL MEMO #YoMemoJokes

— 1,082 days left… (@RagingHeretic) February 3, 2018

Biggest laugh of the whole series:

The #YoMemoJokes hashtag being pushed by Twitter, and the people posting jokes to it, shows just how much the Democrats have taught people to despise this Republic. If ANYONE has ANY doubt about the wisdom of NOT electing a Democrat President, read those #YoMemoJokes tweets. -VJ

    From the last thread:

    Devin Nunes: “This is just the first memo. There will be another one dealing specifically with the State Department’s role in all of this.”

    The State Department = Nefarious Hillary Clinton. (One would guess.)

    I wonder if this episode will sink in for some of these “independent” or “undecided” voters that Trump is nothing but a badly performing con-artist, out for himself, and no one but himself.

    PS. And in reply to the earlier discussion of threaded comments, I don’t want ’em, and I almost always reference and quote who and what I’m replying to.

    @JWR: I usually don’t like threaded comments because of how they make it hard to find new posts. The ones I do like have the thread-starter posts in chronological order, with only the first two or three comments in the thread shown, with an expand button. The places where it’s expanded by default are to me unusable, especially ones like for example DailyKos where the collapse button just collapses the individual comment and not the whole thread below it.

    Blech.

    ETA now, if somebody made a plugin that let you toggle the two…

    I usually don’t like threaded comments because of how they make it hard to find new posts.

    My first thought upon reading this was Dailykos. I have the same problem over there. In fact, I was reading up on how to get rid of those pop-ups telling me there’s a new comment, and found the Comment Settings link below the post and above the first comment, (on the right side.) There are 2 check boxes, one to Auto Refresh and one to Collapse On Load. I think I checked, then unchecked, the former, and those pop-ups disappeared. (i know. This has little to do with what you wrote. Just passing on a hopefully helpful bit of info.)

    @WaterGirl: I was sorta maybe gonna suggest that there could be options, maybe. But the only site with the non-/threaded option I know well enough to mention is Flyertalk, and it’s got a whole lot more $ to spend than BJ has. And I still use the non-threaded version.

    More ppl might be less unhappy if BJ let them know that clicking on a “replied” link will take you to the comment – well we all know that – but I’m embarrassed to admit how many years it took me to get that using the fucking back button would put me Doh, back to the place I’d been.

    In my experience, unthreaded linear comments promote more social inclusion, because any one reading the comments has to at least skim through most of them, while threaded comments tend to create a more fractured comment community since people will frequently just concentrate on the threads they’re participating in.

    So count me among the anti-threaders. Threads can work well in some contexts, but I think it would ultimately be detrimental for Balloon Juice’s community.

    I’m not really too surprised at the Fox/GOP hostility towards the FBI and the CIA tbh.

    I got this from David Koch’s wiki site but had remembered reading about it years ago.

    “He advocated for the abolition of Social Security, the FBI, the CIA, and public schools.”

    That was his 1980 platform.

    Dahlia Lithwick has an interesting take on “MemoGate”. To quote a bit from the final graf:

    “If the real, real long game here is to create just enough chaos and distraction to lead citizens to wonder whether this last action represents the death of constitutional democracy, this latest act is a big win from House Republicans and Donald Trump.”

    Read it all. It’s kinda scary.

    Another good piece from Slate:

    “However, the memo serves its purpose by airing bad facts about the FBI and getting those assertions lots of attention. The sole purpose of the Patel/Nunes memo is to make the FBI, Justice Department, and intelligence community look bad.”

    Weird night. We got that nasty cold where everyone is hacking away for six to eight weeks. My dad, age 93, didn’t do so well since the constant hacking seriously interfered with his air supply. So he got dizzy and keeled over and banged his hip. Contusion, not broken. But his doctor says those hurt like hell for a couple of weeks.

    He is in a nursing home for rehab for a week or so. His nurse’s aide is hovering, freaking about him. I have a same or different bad cold, so I don’t feel like I can spend any time in the nursing home. So now I am in his house with his bereft cat. It’s an indoor/outdoor cat that lives in a tough neighborhood with other cats and some foxes, but he’s glad to be away from trapped in a house with my cats. My cats are indoor wussy cats, but he is exhausted from defending himself from four indoor cats stalking together. Cats are like teenage girls. Relentless if you aren’t part of the in-group.

    It’s weird in my dad’s house. Utterly silent. His exhausted cat is sound asleep. I keep expecting the clunk of my dad’s walker, Or at least a dog snoring. Or the furnace clanking. Nada. Weird.

    @(((CassandraLeo))): Actually, doing so is pretty difficult. You’d have to implement a full-featured NNTP client in the browser because the server didn’t do the threading; it only kept track of the “References:” header. The clients built threads out of it. This is completely necessary because otherwise you’ll computationally whelm the server.
