Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Let’s finish the job.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

The lights are all blinking red.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Is the Taylor Swift endorsement the shot in the arm we need right now or am I losing my mind? I still think that the Kavanaugh travesty will bite Republicans in the ass, no matter how much they think they benefit from it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of their lives.

I’m dispositionally and morally opposed to turning the cheek or forgiving and I hope all of you are too. Let’s start by winning the House election in November. Give to the Balloon Juice More More More fund here, which funds 46 Democratic House candidates selected by readers. You can choose just a few candidates to minimize mailing lists.

There’s some new addresses for you to send post cards to at Postcard Patriots.

You can keep giving to Heidi Heitlkamp here. We blew past our initial goal but no reason not to keep giving. She’s a hero.

    Can’t sneeze at 83.6 million followers. And, importantly, Swift coming off the Neutrality Bench. Maybe it’ll help a little. Can’t hurt.

    Thanks, Doug, for promoting the hot, fresh addresses at PostCardPatriots.com. Xochitl Torres Small sent us 800 after we managed the first 600. So could use a little help there.

    Kendra Fershee’s campaign sent a nice batch of addresses. (And If John Cole follows anyone on Twitter could you tweet this at him? Thanks.) We haven’t had any requests for Kendra, specifically. Would like to change that.

    Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s attorneys say that Ford is still not living at home and can’t for “quite some time.” She’s still receiving “unending” death threats. She saw Trump mocking her at that campaign speech. Her lawyers say she was “horrified.”

    While the GOP Senators whine about political protests and Kavanaugh attends cocktail parties with Facebook executives, she can’t go back to her own house because Trump/Kavanaugh lunatics are stalking her.

    And they’re still ginning it up. This could be you. It could be any of us. She challenged powerful people so she must be punished. Not one of them on the GOP side stood up for the single citizen versus their powerful bloc. Given a choice they protected Kavanaugh, a person who was already wildly powerful and they handed him more. He was who they rushed to.

    The same thing would happen to any of their constituents who challenged any of them.

    Maybe the judge could take time out of his busy cocktail party schedule (he really shouldn’t be drinking anyway, let’s be honest) and call off his fans. Let her go back to her house. Maybe one of these wildly powerful lawmakers could enforce some laws so she isn’t harassed and intimidated the rest of her life.

    Good morning, everyone.

    Kavanaugh’s biggest electoral impact will be this November. He’s going to fade into the woodwork on the SCOTUS until he starts writing majority opinions on 5:4 decisions, and that’s not going to be for a while (several years?) yet. We have to make the Teabaggers pay NOW. When was the last time we heard anything about Gorsuch? :-/ But he’s still a reliable Teabagger vote…

    Good for Taylor. Her news is getting lots of play on the BBC. I don’t listen to her music, but I’ve always liked her since her first appearance on SNL. She’s a great talent, and obviously has a good head on her shoulders.

    And for all the media/GOP bullshit about how this is great for Republicans, they’re sure anxious to help people forget what happened. That was the reason for the full court press to smear the protesters. Incredibly, they made the senators the victims. Susan Collins is too precious to be exposed to dissenting political speech while she’s pretending to make a decision she made weeks ago.

    So don’t forget. They had a choice of whether to choose the side of this wildly powerful elite OR a regular citizen. They chose one of their own.

    They’d do the same to any of you. The well-connected, the powerful, they will GET what they are entitled to and don’t dare any of you get in their way.

    Republicans embraced the politically convenient line that Ford simply misremembered who attacked her.

    Except scientists say that’s not a thing.

    One researcher “could not recall a single case of a sexual assault victim misremembering a known attacker.”

    8:17 AM – 7 Oct 2018

    Science and Reason is the only way forward. We need to figure out a way to turn off the tribal lizard brain that dominates so much of RWNJ politics. We know how to solve our problems and make things better, but RWNJ leaders and consultants only care about winning elections so that they can get their tax cuts and keep the rubes inflamed to retain power.

    It’s gonna be the death of us all if we don’t figure out the way to solve it.

    @Kay: They have no idea and I am skipping every article of that kind. I have no better information than they do, but I do know that in advance of the statewide elections in Virginia last year we were treated to weeks of hand wringing over the resurgence of Ed Gillespie and the tightening in the polls, so that grand poobahs were confidently predicting that Gillespie would win. If that kind of reporting motivates Democrats to remain engaged, I don’t care, but I am not going to read it because it is basically pure speculation aiming to present some kind of “fresh twist” on the election.

    As for Susan Collins, I will say it again — the Nora Desmond of Republican politics, so entranced by the past image of the moderate New England Republican that she howls like a wounded hyena if anyone tries to force her to face the realities of the present.

    Those who voted for and enabled the Trump travesty have ruined their own reputations, permanently. They’ve shown their adult judgement to be fundamentally flawed, misguided, short-sighted, wrong-headed and intellectually crippled. It’s a question of basic human decency at this point.

    Our favorite breakfast spot is the Minnesota Grill in Roseville, a place my son mockingly refers to as the home of the Blue Hair Special due to the preponderance of elderly guests. There’s almost always a few gatherings of senior men loudly discussing politics over breakfast and I normally roll my eyes and try to ignore them, as they are always always always Trumpsters. This weekend I warned my family that if there was loud talk about current events, especially if there was crowing or victim trashing, I was going to confront them and Make a Scene. I’m done with worrying about the comfort of people who see me something less than them. Luckily, there was no talk, or it was far away enough that I didn’t have to hear it.

    Not that I’m aware of. The specific harassment threats deal with “contact”- there’s no contemplation of someone inciting someone else to contact – I imagine that would be impossible to prove.

    It’s a high bar, too. You need a LOT of contact. 30 text messages in one day kind of contact.

    Trump, the thug, is sending a very clear message. Cross him or one of his cronies and this will happen to you. It’s horrifying. Conservatives can lie to themselves all they want but this is “state power”. Donald Trump is using his state authority – his government position- to smear and intimidate this woman. The United States of America is validating this behavior, simply because he’s the President and no one is doing anything to stop him.

    Donations via Act Blue directly from his own page aren’t showing up in that list. (I gave $50 directly from his own page.)

    Thanks.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Mnemosyne:
    @Barbara:

    And we thank you for helping Flip the House! Much appreciated!

    PostCardPatriots.com was started for people who want to be able to boost turnout to Flip the House. And to support BJ Candidates. We just have BJ Candidates. No searching for key House races. We got ’em.

    Which means you can get addresses fast and easy. And, well, Save Democracy.

    And what better way to observe Trump Swears In Kavanaugh Day then writing PostCards?

    @Kay:

    He gets both. What ticks me off is that the public one will be televised. Obviously an excuse to let Trump don his reality star hat.

    I encourage everyone to call Lamar!, Corker, and Blackburn and ask their staff “if you’re so great why is Taylor Swift talking about you like her latest ex?”

    @Kay: I think every single one of us has a duty to harass Republicans every day and night. Bullies are cowards. If you know Republicans I’m sorry but the only way they will reform is if good ppl start treating them like the leper’s they deserve to be. Even within our families. Also note the Amherst college war memorial has the names of brothers who fought on opposite sides during the Civil War 1

    Not just that, ridiculous science deniers who substitute reality to for their fantasy world.

    FWIW, I’m generally an easygoing guy, maybe too much so, but I no longer have any intention of turning the other cheek politically.

    Gotta keep digging on Kavanaugh.

    Also, every GOP operative. Any listed in the sex offender registry?
