Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans in disarray!

T R E 4 5 O N

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

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

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

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

This blog will pay for itself.

    Avenatti sounds like a knock-off Italian sports car.

    I remain convinced that having to watch Littledick do his thing in all its ignominy, over and over, is only too little punishment for Trumpists/Steiniacs/whatever-they-are. Far, far too little punishment. That their children and grandchildren should be able to look up this footage, and ask their parents about it, is only a trillionth part of the penalty they should all pay.

    Yeah, some of us will suffer it too. But we don’t have to look. They will, b/c their children will, and then will ask about it.

    Daniel’s and Avenatti’s polished Dog ‘n’ Pony Show makes Trump’s look like a cut-rate flea circus. Where all the fleas have died.

    I saw a comment on another forum that this might just be some random CD being dangled as bait for Trump to snap at. He’s certainly stupid enough to bite at it.

    Cannot see the pic (and couldn’t be happier about it). Presume there are more and this is only the tip of the viceberg.

    @SiubhanDuinne: @SiubhanDuinne: Melania could always take him home to Slovenia …

    But really … in the long run “Dad’s porn film got distributed” is going to be the least embarrassing thing about being the offspring of Donald J. Trump.

    @NotMax:

    It’s just a boring picture of a CD. Nothing in the least interesting, let alone offensive. It’s what one imagines as the images on the disc that’s causing all the excitement :-)

    @Adam L Silverman: What reasoning do they have to do that? To prove that Trump tried to pay for the NDA? Or to prove that he didn’t?

    I mean, I’m happy to see someone do that, but I don’t get what legal reasoning would let them.

    Good point in the long run. But it must be emotional torture for him right now. Poor kid.

    @Jay: Sure, but you have to give a reason for discovery. What are they saying they expect/hope to find?

    @Adam L Silverman: Maybe that’s it? It’s just a psych-out. God knows Avenatti seems to have Trump’s number.

    I really, really don’t want to think about the prospect of a video of the presidential junk at work.

    There is not enough brain bleach in the world.

    Not a full-length movie, more like a short subject.

    And the kid is still very young. Maybe Trump hasn’t had a chance yet to fully program him.

    So…hmmm…what if Stormy offers to produce the video during the 60 minutes interview?

    Mnemosyne

    March 23, 2018 at 1:57 am

    I’m assuming that Avenatti and Daniels are angling for a bigger, better payout than the last one she got, which was pretty skimpy.

    March 23, 2018 at 2:18 am

    @MisterForkbeard:

    It’s a civil defamation case. Discovery is very, very broad, relating to “everything and all”. Legal twitter pointed out that Treason Tribble and his minion lawyers were morons trying to contest Stormy, because they were opening themselves up to hugely expansive discovery motions.

    He’s developing quite a fan base on Twitter – hashtag Avenhottie.

    Maybe there are plans to show the video during the 60 minutes interview. But how will they fill up the remaining 59 minutes and 55 seconds?

    Between this and the Bolton news, it’s like a goddamned remake of Wag the Dog, except with a real possibility of nukes. I’m right on the border between too scared to think straight and too enraged to notice the fear.

    @SiubhanDuinne: At his age, believe it or not, he probably knows his dad is a giant piece of shit and avoids interacting with him in any way.

    @SiubhanDuinne:
    This kid has witnessed Trump up close and personal, interacting with his mom.

    News reports only tell him what he already knows.

    I’m really liking Avenatti – smart guy. He said last night that he’s playing 3 dimensional chess, and they (Trump’s attorneys) are playing tic-tac-toe. You do have to have a large ego to be a litigator –
