Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

A consequence of cucumbers

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

Let’s finish the job.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

In my day, never was longer.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Proud Boy in Seattle finds a sign he doesn't like during #MayDay & tries with all his might to rip it up. It doesn't work out. [h/t @nategowdy] #MayDaySea pic.twitter.com/Z2P0KhQw0J

Darn you, modern printshop technology! It’s even better if you can listen to the mocking commentary by the film-taker.
 

https://t.co/TlxYN2lHYv is no longer accessible.

"It is our determination that https://t.co/6wdYoGhdjN crossed the line and encouraged and promoted violence in a direct and threatening manner," a GoDaddy spokesperson said.https://t.co/6VGbmwOE0e

— BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) May 3, 2018

… In a statement provided to BuzzFeed News, a spokesperson for GoDaddy said that Spencer was given 48 hours to transfer the Altright.com domain to a different host before it was removed…

Spencer told BuzzFeed News that he has not yet found a new host for the site.

“We’re working on solving the problem, and solving it in a permanent way. So this might take some time,” Spencer said…

The removal of Altright.com comes only a few weeks after Facebook removed two Facebook pages associated with Spencer. The takedown was first reported by Vice, which said the pages were removed after the outlet contacted Facebook about hate groups using the platform…

Tech platforms have been locked in a back-and-forth with far-right internet communities since the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last summer. The Daily Stormer, an infamous neo-Nazi website, has continued to have similar issues with hosting. GoDaddy suspended the site’s hosting the same week that Google canceled the site’s domain registration in August last year.

The loss of Spencer’s internet hosting also comes only two days after he was removed from the WePay online payment service, effectively cutting his main revenue stream. Spencer is also currently embroiled in a lawsuit following the events of the “Unite the Right” rally. Unable to find a lawyer who would defend him, Spencer is representing himself.…

… The jury recommended a sentence of 10 years, with the option of suspending some of the time, and a $20,000 fine. The presiding judge, Richard E. Moore, will set the sentence on Aug. 23…

The assault on Harris, 20, a former special education instructional assistant, was so ferocious that he suffered a spinal injury, a broken arm and head lacerations that required eight staples.

Online footage of the beating has been viewed online tens of thousands of times and attracted a group of online sleuths, led by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King. They tracked down the alleged perpetrators’ identities, including that of Goodwin, who lives in Ward, Ark. Goodwin was arrested about two months after the rally…

When Goodwin took the stand, he told the jury he’d seen Harris assault Crews and then saw Harris charging toward him.

“I thought he was a hostile. . . . To be honest, I was terrified,” Goodwin said, adding that he thought, “I’d probably perish or be sent to the hospital and be terribly hurt.”

He said he engaged in self-defense and felt he had only one choice, which was to kick Harris four times while Harris was falling down on the garage floor and scrambling to get back up multiple times…

Three other men have been also been arrested in connection to the attack on charges including felonious assault to malicious wounding: Alex Michael Ramos of Georgia, whose trial began Wednesday; and Daniel Borden of Ohio and Tyler Watkins Davis of Florida, who face trials this summer…

    Also, I hope this verdict convinces the two perpetrators who are waiting to go on trial to take a plea bargain so the victim and his family don’t have to sit through two additional trials.

    Though you have to “love” (gag) that he tried to use the old I thought that Black man had superpowers! claim that got the cops who beat Rodney King off. I guess having three of your buddies also beating and kicking the guy makes your “self defense” claim look shaky to a jury.

    @Mnemosyne: The black buy had dangerous hostile superpowers while he was falling down some stairs away from the perpetrators? I think that is what happened. The lesson is, I guess, that superpower are really really scary. But not scary enough to fool this particular jury.

    Edit: Superman would be able to fly up the stairs backwards and and knock you out with a reverse elbow punch using the back of of his head vision. Everyone knows black people have those kinds of superpowers. Many people are saying that.

    As a general rule, a potato salad is a good salad, IMHO.

    All Potato Salads are abominations against the term salad.

    @debbie: I like peanut butter a lot, and I love mayonaise, but I cannot imagine combining them.

    I read your comment to my husband because I was so appalled, and he screamed “Peanut butter and mayonaise is awesome!”

    Almost twenty years of marriage and I just learned this.

    @Mary G: that particular incident might not have been a wire tap, but what are the odds that there isn’t a wire tap?

    Adding, and how do we know that the “senior officials” cited for the walk back aren’t John Barron and friends?

    I use Medina County as an insult, about people who will never try anything new.

    He just pointed out that I am being Medina County about a sandwich.

    @Mnemosyne: I hadn’t bothered to look at the recipe because I don’t like mayo, miracle whip, sour cream, etc. But when you said “no mayo”, I had to look. I left the tab open,thinking I might try it.

    @ruemara:

    Zacapa rum is the best, from Guatemala, 28 years old. No offense, but if you try it, you will see what I mean. Really good.

    I make potato salad with a vinegar and oil dressing. If ramps are in season, I mince them as tiny as I can. Else I mince green onions, a little garlic. No mustard, no, no not ever!

    This makes a potato salad you can take on a picnic, with no fear of food poisoning because it was allowed to sit out warm, like a mayo based potato salad may. Salt and pepper, that kind of addition as well.

    @J R in WV: Anything edible is better with ramps.

    ETA my niece is a major ramp supplier in our area. I never knew. She is also a lovely person.
