Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

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

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Come on, man.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Let’s finish the job.

People are complicated. Love is not.

This blog will pay for itself.

Today was a good day

This post is in: 

This is one of my favorite quotes in all of literature, from Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson:

“Usually we felt guilty and frightened, because there was something wrong with us, and we didn’t know what it was; but today we had the feeling of men who had worked.”

That’s how I feel the past couple days about the Dems in the Senate. Usually, we think they are a bunch of sells-out and neoliberal shills and even cucks, but the last two days Booker and Harris and Durbin really went to work on the homes with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

Let’s elect a few more fighters. Give here to Jacky Rosen and Krysten Sinema, running for Senate.

You can give to Beto here.

And while it’s not a federal election, I’d like to see Stacey Abrams be the next of Georgia (I just raised the goal to 5K for this one).

    I agree, the Democrats are kicking ass and taking names. I have the hearing on YouTube, where the comments are usually toxic, but everyone there thinks Kavanaugh is a weasel and the last one just said “Whitehouse took out the JUGULAR.”

    And yes, Senate Dems have been awesome. Booker, Hirono, Durbin…but Kamala Harris will forever have my heart for asking about what laws there are specific to how men can control their own bodies. I’ll love her for eternity for striking him dumb with that one. It was a beautiful thing.

    Well, it’s not over yet. The lying slimeball Republican hack, Starr operative, Elian Gonzalez hyper, Vince Foster conspiracy-monger, right wing talking points repeater, describer of contraception devices as “abortion inducements”, gay rights hater, Hobby Lobby lover, and beneficiary of the largest Senatorial cover-up in the history of SCOTUS nominations is still being grilled tonight. No networks are showing it but I’ve got it on C-SPAN3 and it’s just as nausea-inducing as it has been all day.

    Good week! Spent Labor Day weekend canvassing. New ad out. Everybody’s excited! For the first time, things are really feeling different. Lots of Beto! signs here and there.
    Spies say Cruz’s HQ is in turmoil. Dump Trump or not to dump Trump, that is the question. Rumor is that they tried to disinvite and Trump fired off a tweet (Aug 31st) sayin’, “Bitch, I’m coming’! Find me the biggest stadium in Texas!”. Big Money is coming in to help Teddy and that’s causing some friction in his camp as well. Some of his people are being pushed aside, ignored, etc.
    I’m working the phones this week. Getting first-time voters registered. People are pissed. People are motivated. Here’s one ol’ curmudgeon who thinks thing are swinging our way. Maybe.

    Welcome to the Third Forever War.

    Trump, who just five months ago said he wanted “to get out” of Syria and bring U.S. troops home soon, has approved a new strategy for an indefinitely extended military, diplomatic and economic effort there, according to senior State Department officials.

    Although the military campaign against the Islamic State has been nearly completed, the administration has redefined its goals to include the exit of all Iranian military and proxy forces from Syria, and establishment of a stable, nonthreatening government acceptable to all Syrians and the international community.

    But Hillary was supposed to be a warmonger. //s

    Trump would demand executive orders from Cohn or former staff secretary Rob Porter imposing tariffs or otherwise punishing China. But officials said the duo often ignored him in an effort to avert what they believed was bad policy, in hopes that if they paused the process the president would move on to another topic.

    “He would be like, ‘Do this, do that, slap a tariff on this country or that country, let’s blow everything up, let’s go to war,’ ” a former White House official said. “Then we would come back the next week and Trump would say, ‘What happened with X?’ And he would get mad that no one had done it. And it was a never-ending cycle.”

    I’m not sure what’s worse. That there’s a madman in the executive branch or that all of the evil stupid people he’s appointed under him are the ones actually making the decisions.

    The thing that struck me the last couple of days: too many people confuse quiet with weak. Leading up to this shitshow of a hearing for Kavanaugh, everybody was wailing and rending their garments about the Democrats not doing anything. But the Dems knew they had a tough row, and they’re smart. They kept their own counsel and now they’re showing their strength. Republicans are LOUD. They’re full of bluster. For too long that’s allowed them to appear strong.

    The Dems may not be able to stop Kavanaugh, but they’re playing it as smart as they can. And at least they’re going to leave a lot of the other guy’s blood on the floor if they go down.

    I actually think it’s great that Trump is lying his fat ass off to his basket of deplorables. The more he says that his numbers are great and he’s so popular and there’s a massive red wave, the more flat-footed they’ll all be caught in November. He’s not disciplined enough to have a concerted message to juice turnout for his side. It’s haphazard. My feeling is his barnstorming pre-election tour is actually going to result in fewer votes for Republicans when looked at as a whole.

    Reading Dale tweets – trump believes he will be impeached if the GOP loses the congress majority.

    Trump to his supporters on impeachment: “If it does happen it’s your fault, because you didn’t go out to vote.” He has not spoken this way before.

    Trump: If you impeach me, America will “turn into a thrid-world country.” He says it’ll set a precedent that the opposing party will always try to impeach the president.

    Trump arguing against impeaching him: “We won by a lot. We won by a hell of a margin…that Electoral College, we won by a lot.” (Obviously, he lost the popular vote.)

    I think Kavanaugh is perjuring himself so much right now he could be impeached down the road depending on what comes of Trumpov. Yeah,its a high bar but not unsurmountable especially with a Dem POTUS who withdraws executive privilege. McConnell should have pushed Trumpov harder to get another nominee. Kavanaugh is just a bad bad nominee.

    @TS (the original): Remember when Ben Carson took the lead in the polls in Iowa? Boston Globe:

    By Jill Colvin ASSOCIATED PRESS NOVEMBER 13, 2015

    FORT DODGE, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, brushing aside any recent claims of civility, has equated Ben Carson’s childhood ‘‘pathological temper’’ to the illness of a child molester, questioned his religious awakening and berated voters who support him.

    ‘‘How stupid are the people of Iowa?’’ declared Trump during a rally at Iowa Central Community College. ‘‘How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?’’ For more than an hour and a half Thursday night, the billionaire real estate mogul harshly criticized not only Carson, but many of his other competitors in the race for the GOP presidential nomination.

    In his free-wheeling appearance, Trump also said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who is rising in the polls, was ‘‘weak like a baby, like a baby’’ and ‘‘not a good poker player because every time he’s under pressure he starts to just profusely sweat.’’ And he said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush didn’t deserve his attention because his campaign is doing so poorly.

    […]

    He always lashes out when he doesn’t get what he wants. And it’s always someone else’s fault.

    We’ve seen this stuff before. Here’s hoping the voters give him a lot to cry about on Tuesday November 6.

Probably 20% went to the military, but they all CAME BACK. I’m not joking, I checked in at the reunion site 4 years ago where they mapped “where we sent the invites” (and my brother should roast in hell for giving them my address), and it was a huge red canker in the middle of the US with widely scattered dots everywhere else.

    Not to be pedantic, but I’m gonna be pedantic: her name is Kyrsten, not Krysten. She is also terrible. I’m going to vote for her, but I’m not going to feel good about it.

    I’m in a generous mood and was going to donate to all the BJ endorsed candidates, but when I search Balloon Juice within ActBlue nothing comes up. Is there a consolidated page somewhere? I scrolled through a couple of pages of the main BJ site, but only came up with a handful of the individual fundraising meters…to whom I did send some $ love, just to be clear.
