Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

He really is that stupid.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Our messy unity will be our strength.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

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

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Why does Scott Pruitt still have a job? (The Post)

Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt last year had a top aide help contact Republican donors who might offer his wife a job, eventually securing her a position at a conservative political group that has backed him for years, according to multiple individuals familiar with the matter.

The job hunt included Pruitt’s approaching wealthy party supporters and conservative figures with ties to the Trump administration. The individuals said he enlisted Samantha Dravis, then serving as associate administrator for the EPA’s Office of Policy, to line up work for his wife…

A spokesman for the Judicial Crisis Network confirmed Tuesday that it employed the onetime school nurse “temporarily as an independent contractor,” but it did not disclose via email how long she worked there or what she was paid. The spokesman said the position came about after the group received her résumé from Leonard Leo, executive vice president of the Federalist Society. The two organizations have financial ties.

Leo is a prominent Pruitt backer and longtime friend who was involved in arrangements for the administrator’s visit to Italy last year. Taxpayers spent more than $100,000 on the trip, which included private tours of the Vatican and meals at some of Rome’s finest restaurants.

Oh right — because Pruitt works for the most openly corrupt administration in the history of the United States, where simply everyone is in on the grift, from the president to his worthless spawn to his venal cabinet to his most inept hangers-on. And because Pruitt is succeeding in his mandate to reorient the agency he runs away from protecting the environment to protecting GOP-friendly corporations so they can pollute the ecosystem and endanger workers and citizens with impunity.

That’s why Pruitt still has a job.

In a way, we’re probably better off if Trump continues to stand by Pruitt. A replacement would likely be just as bad, and Pruitt is so openly dishonest, unscrupulous and grasping that he’ll make a great campaign talking point for Democrats at any level, nationwide.

    One theory I’ve seen is that since Pruitt has been confirmed by the Senate, he’d be a possible stand-by replacement for Sessions. Apparently, once you’ve been confirmed by the Senate for any job, you’re a legal repacement for any other Senate-confirmed position. Seems a bit far-fetched, though. I’d guess that the dumb explanation (Trump sees Pruitt as a kindred spirit) is the correct one.

    The corruption is disgusting, but the nepotism is also gross.

    Several months ago, Donald Trump ordered the promotion of Rudy Giuliani’s son. But instead of getting promoted, he has lost his West Wing pass.
    Details: Trump ordered junior White House staffer Andrew Giuliani’s promotion after dining at Mar-a-Lago with Rudy Giuliani, who subsequently became the president’s lawyer. He directed his body man, Jordan Karem, to ensure Kelly promoted Andrew to special assistant to the president, according to sources familiar with the conversation.

    How many are there? I imagine this whole group of otherwise unemployable adult “children” strutting around, acting like they’re working.

    The Trumpsters are gonna regret splitting up families. We won’t keep them together when they all go to prison. We need a deterrent to white collar crime.

    How’s that swampy-drainy thing workin’ out fer ya?

    ‘Drain the swamp’ was always a metaphor for ethnic cleansing. I have heard Republicans use it that way in a ‘get all colored people out of the US’ sense, but for most I believe they mean it on a governmental level. I grew up with this omnipresent, unquestioned myth that the US government is infested and bought off by ‘special interest groups’ that somehow were bribing legislators and the executive branch to give free stuff to minorities. Rich people corruption is way, way down the list of Trump voter concerns. He is removing the corruption he promised to remove, by making the executive branch an abuser of the weak instead of a protector.

    @Frankensteinbeck: Yup. It’s a whole mythos. Conservatives think of THE GOVERNMENT as being run by corrupt and/or incompetent time-servers who get a coalition of the black, the brown, and the lazy to vote for enough like-minded politicians to keep the machine running without asking too many questions, and that this happens somewhere between The Big City and The State Capital. It’s sort of a permanent Kafkaesque dystopia combining (black/brown/lazy) road crews leaning on shovels, surly (black/brown/lazy) people at the window at the DMV, and occasionally something more diabolical like what they thought Shirley Sherrod was admitting to. And that’s “the swamp,” and that’s how it’s connected to race. And, relatedly, when they talk about running the government “like a business” they mean “firing everyone.”

    @LAO: When lawyers leave that means usually one of two things — there was some big disagreement about strategy like something rather untoward occurred against attorneys advice OR the attorneys were not really working for the client, but for other interests. I saw the latter a lot in low-level cartel dealers who had big fancy attorneys, then they did not (and they got me). Of course, it is not really a binary thing, is it? What’s your take, LAO?

    Good for you. Everyone who lives in a GOP Congressman/Senator’s district, should be calling them up.

    I’ve said before…it’s the simplicity of this evil that just cuts through all the bullshyt.
    Just call them up and ask for the Congressman/Senator’s stance on ripping children from their parents, housing them in cages, and now in camps.

    Guess we can get ready for another Birth of a Nation campaign down in Virginia against Tim Kaine.

    UH HUH
    UH HUH

    In Virginia, Corey Stewart, a Trump-supporting immigration hardliner who campaigned on keeping up Confederate monuments, narrowly won the GOP U.S. Senate primary, and will go up against incumbent Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine this fall.

    With 100 percent of Virginia precincts in, Stewart, the chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, had 44.9 percent of the vote, compared to state Delegate Nick Freitas, a former Green Beret who’d received backing from a key conservative group, with 43.1 percent.

    Stewart’s victory could be a gift for Kaine in blue-leaning Virginia, where a Republican hasn’t won a statewide race since 2009. Stewart campaigned as an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment and even revived false “birther” allegations that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.

    Running out of money is a definite possibility for a decision to cooperate and changing lawyers. (And you need fewer lawyers if you’re cooperating, since you won’t need to have people look at every document to contest whether they should be given to the government.)

    Another possibility beyond the ones mentioned above, although that seems unlikely in this case, is that you hired lawyers who are skilled at burn-things-to-the-ground defense, but not to the kinds of negotiations needed to plead.

    In the Medellin Cartel cases, Mr. At Least Bigger would often pay defense costs. It was surprising to us as public defenders, for sure. And we certainly got our share of the street level folks in State court. But when Pablo Escobar was finally raided after he left his private prison, they found most of the transcripts of the hearings of everyone in the cartel down to some of the smallest players. Those transcripts included the testimony — and identity — of most of the undercover agents and police officers in the Metro Dade area, state and fed, and beyond. Escobar was wicked smaht.

    During the runup to Tuesday’s election, there was a lot speculation about whether the actual process of ranked-choice voting would confuse voters and prompt them to vote no on Question 1.

    But Patricia Darling-Pena, also of Bangor, said the ballot was intuitive.

    “I think it’s remarkably easy,” she said. “I think a leaflet in the mail could easily explain it for everyone,” she said.

    Tae Chong, a voter in Portland, dissed the ominous buildup to the ranked-choice debut.

    “If people can get American Idol, how can you not get this? Gimmee a break,” Chong said.

    Great. American Idol runs the country.

    @SiubhanDuinne: The color of cash. It was a code private attorneys used to explain they were not being paid…. In San Antonio, we had an informal club of defense attorneys that would have a lunch or dinner once a year. Mostly an excuse to tell tales and drink. There were various awards they had made up and I made up the Easy Rider “We ate their food, Man” award for the best tale of getting stiffed by a client. One year’s winner went like this: the attorney was representing a twenty-something working class guy on a DUI and gun possession charge (they often went together). The guy worked construction and the lawyer kinda felt sorry for him, so he kept asking for pay and the client always had a sad sack tale about how his ship was just about to come in. Besides the retainer, the lawyer had,’t received anything. Pre-trial motions, the gun is suppressed — nothing. Trial, nothing. So the attorney wins the DUI case at trial! Not guilty! So, the client says, look, let me buy you a drink, I have your money and they went off to the bar near the courthouse and both got a beer. The client is so happy and he toasts the attorney and he gets up and says I’m going to the truck to get the check for the payment. He leaves and drives off. Also leaving the lawyer with the bar tab.

    Stewart prevailed last night in the Virginia GOP Senate primary by a slim margin over a former Green Beret who had the backing of the party establishment. Some Republicans immediately expressed dismay. Bill Bolling, the former lieutenant governor of Virginia, tweeted: “This is clearly not the Republican Party I once knew, loved and proudly served.

    Maybe we could have more action items like this?

    I agree. I’ve said a few times that I’d like to have a daily, or at least several times a week, action item thread. Something to help people do one thing every day–call their reps about an issue. Many of us know we’re supposed to be contacting our reps on a regular basis but are busy and aren’t sure what the best issues are at the moment. A reminder to “call your reps about this issue today” could help with focus and also to spur people on to act.

    Another bonus of that sort of thread is that it can alleviate your sense of helplessness when you take action. It’s easy to get down when the news is so horrible. But we can DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. We can get involved. Calling our reps is a small thing that makes our voices heard. It matters. And when you do it you can feel good that you’ve done something more than just complain.

    @MJS: That crossed my mind too, a lot of times clients who are just trying to delay their obvious eventual conviction will just keep firing their lawyers and hiring a new one which gives the new one the opportunity to go into court and beg the judge for yet another continuance because the new lawyer has to “get up to speed” and has “only just received the discovery in this matter from previous counsel” and they have to have time to go through it. It works for a while but eventually the State and the Judges get wise to what the defendant is up to and refuse to continue the case. If that happens the latest attorney withdraws and the client now pro se begs the court for a continuance to obtain new counsel. I have seen this lots of times.

    2024 Dennis Hof for President, as endorsed by the Ralp Reed, Jerry Fallwell Jr., and the rest of the priesthood.

    Regarding the Trump Administration Immigration Policy, Racism, and Corruption, when Centrist MSM say liberals are saying to harsh things, I think Mr. William Lloyd Garrison speaks for us all in the first edition of “the Liberator”:
    “I AM aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as Truth, and as uncompromising as Justice. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen—but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be heard. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead.”

    @MattF: @rikyrah: Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 is real and Pruitt would have enough time to sink Mueller.

    @Kay:

    The Trumpsters are gonna regret splitting up families. We won’t keep them together when they all go to prison. We need a deterrent to white collar crime.

    Pikes and Tumbrels have been traditionally very effective.

    I am sure this has been observed before above: In addition to his being part of a brazenly corrupt administration, he is doing Trump’s bidding at EPA. Scott Pruitt wants to run for POTUS some day. HIs ambitions needs to be strangled in the cradle.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    I didn’t make a Ron Johnson staffer cry, but I did make him stammer and say he just worked for the office

    Better luck next time!

    I hope nobody is under the illusion that ‘drain the swamp’ meant eliminating corruption? It always meant purging minorities and liberals from the administration.

    I see that the raccoon made it to the top. Canned cat food lured him into a cage. Yesterday he didn’t look well. Maybe just dehydrated or else parasites winning. The concrete must have been rough on his paws.

    I know, I know they’re destructive to our environments, but they’re cool creatures in theirs. We had some in our house one summer when we were gone. We had students from a distant country living with us that year, and we’d shown them be aver prints at the river. Taken them canoeing to see the houses and attempted water engineering. When we came home we learned that “the be a vers” had been coming through the cat door and up onto the kitchen table where the women were studying, to help themselves from their candy bowl. By that time they were going through a bowl of candy every night, not to mention the entire supply of cat food.

    @Aleta:

    if you put an open and closed italic or bold or whatever bracket set in the middle of the word you can get around the filter. like bea[i][/i]ver or some such (using real brackets, not the square ones).

    @Mike in DC:

    If the Senate GOP balks, let them know it will be a political death march for most of them.

    Why stop there?
