Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

…and a burning sense of injustice to juice the soul.

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

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Another missed opportunity for Jamie Dimon to just shut the fuck up.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

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

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

Edith Wilson stepped up after her husband’s stroke, and Nancy Reagan did her best to harry Reagan’s advisors into covering for his decline into Alzheimer’s. But even if Melania cared, can we pretend she has any actual influence over her anchor-husband?

Normalization means seeing the POTUS ramble incoherently on important policy matters, watching the grifter he put in charge of the Department of Justice give a cringeworthy performance during the morning’s televised “dear leader” session, and yet being completely unsurprised.

    The very serious people on MJ are treating trump’s comments as if he knows what he is talking about. They may disagree with him but surely the only response is that there is a mad man in the WH surrounded by a group of sycophants who either know zero about US policy over the past 50 years – or they literally don’t care as to how and why the world implodes.

    My husband is a liberal who votes the straight Democratic ticket and despises Trump. But he doesn’t follow politics like we do. I turned MSNBC on while making dinner last night, and he saw a few clips of that cabinet meeting. His jaw dropped. He knew all along Trump was corrupt and amoral, but he didn’t realize how unhinged Trump is until he saw that, and it disturbed him greatly.

    as it was blown-up to poster size and placed in front of the president during the meeting.

    I like to picture the low quality hires planning this – spending a work day on it, fighting over who gets to present it to The Boss, and claim credit. If he likes it they all high five one another. “What about if we make a huge, flattering poster glorifying him and present it to him on television?” There were like five prototypes and a lot of discussions with the people charged with making it- they had to look at proofs, etc. This involved at least 10 people, “working”.

    After President Trump’s victory, Obama wondered if he wanted too much from the American people, if we were really ready for him. “He’s saying that, sadly, we were not enlightened enough for the momentous changes wrought by the smartest people in the world,” Dowd writes, adding that Obama thinks “We just weren’t ready for his amazing awesomeness.”

    Remember the old saying, Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations?

    Fred Trump made the family fortune as a slumlord; Donald has stumbled through his life coasting on the old man’s fortune and his own lack of ethics; the grown kids raised in Donald’s shadow couldn’t pour water out of a boot if you printed the instructions on the sole — and are probably going to end up broke, if not actually in jail.

    @Betty Cracker: Have you ever read the book? Hilarious. So funny I couldn’t bear the idea of watching a movie based on it. The man was definitely a larger than life character and he was not alone. Hard to believe it really happened:

    • The charismatic Congressman Charlie Wilson. While Ronald Reagan and William Casey were unable to persuade Congress to fund the Nicaraguan Contras, Wilson was procuring hundreds of millions of dollars to support his Afghan “freedom fighters” through back-room machinations that would have made even LBJ blush. A colorful man of many contradictions, he worked hard and played hard, earning the reputation as the “wildest man in Congreeeeeess” while representing an archconservative Bible-belt district in Texas.

    • The out-of-favor CIA operative, Gust Avrakotos, whose working-class Greek-American background made him an anomaly in the patrician world of American spies. Nicknamed “Dr. Dirty”, this blue collar James Bond was an aggressive agent who served on the front lines of the Cold War where he learned how to stretch the Agency’s rules to the breaking point.

    • The eccentric staff of CIA outcasts hand-picked by Avrakotos to run the operation. Among them were “Hilly Billy”, the logistics wizard who could open an un-numbered Swiss bank account for the U.S. government in 12 hours when others took months; Art Alper, the “devilish” tinkerer from the Technical Services division who roamed the world creating such novelties as exploding typewriters and developed portable amplifiers that spread propaganda among the Soviet troops; and especially Mike Vickers, the former Green Beret so junior in status that he couldn’t send his own cables. His military genius allowed him to single-handedly redesign the CIA’s war plan. Through his highly specific blueprint, he created a systematic plan that turned a rabble of shepherds and tribesmen into an army of techno Holy warriors who gave the legendary Red Army their greatest defeat. Today, Mike Vickers is consulting for the Pentagon on the War on Terrorism and war planning for Iraq.
    The many women who shared the Congressman’s jihad. It all began with a Houston socialite, Joanne Herring who enlisted Wilson to the Afghan cause via her deep-seated hatred of Communism and her influence in Pakistan. Carol Shannon, Wilson’s personal belly dancer who he took with him to the jihad. Charlie’s Angels, Wilson’s female staffers so strikingly beautiful that they became a legend on Capitol Hill. And finally, Annelise Illschenko, aka “Sweetums”, the former U.S. representative in the Miss World competition who traveled with Wilson deep into the Islamic world in outfits that were not the most appropriate attire in the eyes of Muslim men

    A tale of hubris gone mad.

    For the morning crew who didn’t see my note yesterday afternoon
    Surgery is scheduled for Feb 4 and it will be the least radical.
    It was a funny visit because the Mayo guy is one of the top guys in the world. He wanted the most radical surgery despite the findings not indicating it was necessary. The U guy was really reluctant to disagree so we reviewed the findings and he came around to thinking our original plan was still correct. It was the best outcome i could have asked for (except i wish it was sooner)

    @gene108: Pakistan created and supports the Afghan Taliban.

    But Pakistan doesn’t support the Pakistan Taliban that is causing all kinds of trouble for the Pakistan government. They’re different, at least in some respects…

    Brookings (from 2013):

    […]

    But there are some limits to Pakistani control of the Afghan Taliban. Even when Mullah Omar was in power in Afghanistan in the late 1990s, he refused to recognise the legitimacy of the Afghan-Pakistani border demarcated by the British in the 1890s, the so called Durand line. The Afghan Taliban provides some assistance to the Pakistani Taliban, which is engaged in an insurgency against the army and ISI and is responsible for dozens of terrorist attacks inside Pakistani cities. The Pakistani Taliban recognises Mullah Omar as their emir just like al-Qaeda does. Mullah Omar has never publicly criticised the Pakistani Taliban or its attacks like the attempt to kill Malala Yousafzai.

    It is an open question whether Pakistan could pressure the Afghan Taliban to make a deal with Kabul on a political settlement of the war. It could certainly make life very difficult for Mullah Omar and his lieutenants if they did not agree to a Pakistani supported deal. If it chooses to shut down sanctuaries and training camps, the Taliban would be under enormous pressure to accept a Pakistani diktat. But all of that seems highly unlikely. Pakistan’s generals believe America and NATO are going to cut and run after 2014. Newspaper reports that say that the White House is actively considering the so called zero option for no American troop presence after 2014 undoubtedly have reinforced the ISI’s belief. Time is on its side and its ally the Taliban will prevail sooner rather than later in the war.

    It’s like the world is complicated, especially when one supports armed groups.

    Or, in other words, it’s Thursday.

    :-/

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    I finally saw Charlie Wilson’s War since it’s on Netflix in NL. It’s a hoot. I really miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman. His boss is John Slattery from Madmen. I have the book, but it’s on my ever-growing “to read” stack. For those saying the CIA funded Osama bin Laden, his name doesn’t appear anywhere in the book, and P. J. O’Rourke, who went there, didn’t mention him either, for what that’s worth. The late, great Molly Ivins always said Rep. Wilson was a gentleman and a good Democrat.

    Fingers crossed for you, Schlemazel!
