Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Republicans in disarray!

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

This blog will pay for itself.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Everybody saw this coming.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

In my day, never was longer.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

This morning, @realDonaldTrump tweeted about his Scottish golf course. It's a beautiful place that's brought him a lot of trouble: 5 yrs of losses, $70M in sunk cash.
Now a court has ordered that Trump pay the Scottish Govt.'s legal fees, after they beat him in court. https://t.co/756dt4SNQR

    Re the witch hunt victim strategy, the few trumpkins I still associate with have rationalized his financial crimes as “just doing business” and his personal improprieties as “that’s what rich men do”

    At the beginning, you feel like mocking him, but the end of the video always stabs me, for its brutal truth wrapped in a helplessness that EVERY Black parent has felt, at one time or another.

    Mr. Graham and his wife have FOUR Harvard degrees between them.. Show me a White couple with Four Harvard degrees that has ever expressed Mr. Graham’s sentiment, then, I will begin to listen to your class over race bullshyt.

    Clinton went on to say that while there may not be “tanks in the streets,” “what’s happening goes to the heart of who we are as a nation.”

    “To anyone who has ever wondered what you would have done during those defining moments that we read about in history books — whether you would have risked arrest to demand votes for women or bled on the Edmund Pettus bridge to demand voting rights for all — the answer is what you are doing now could be as important as anything that anyone has done before,” she said.

    City and county property taxes are a little higher than $1,000 for every 100,000. There are many houses valued more than a million especially when you move closer in.

    In the NE Journal of medicine a doctor recently published a short piece about racism. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1814269

    She’s getting a lot of negative feedback from outraged white male MDs and Repubs in general. The vehemence reveals how much they think is at stake if they even consider that racism is present in medical treatment. You would think doctors would want to improve care for their patients, but apparently not if it means examining themselves.

    Racist Like Me — A Call to Self-Reflection and Action for White Physicians by Deborah Cohan, M.D., M.P.H.

    Dept. of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences and the Dept. of Family and Community Medicine, U. of Calif. San Francisco, and S. F General Hospital — both in San Francisco.

    I am racist. I would love to believe otherwise and can find evidence that I am not — my career dedicated to caring for underserved women of color, my support of colleagues and trainees who are people of color, my score on the implicit-association test. My mission as a white physician is to be humble and respectful toward my patients, not only as an act of compassion but as a revolutionary act against racism, elitism, and hierarchy.

    And yet I am racist, shaped by the sometimes subtle tendrils of white supremacy deeply embedded in our culture.

    I mean this not as a sanctimonious admission of guilt, but as a call to self-reflection and action for us white physicians.

    Appalling racial inequities in health exist in nearly every realm that researchers have examined. These inequities are a dramatic manifestation of the structural violence that plagues our society.

    So what am I, an obstetrician, doing about the disproportionate burden of maternal mortality and other poor reproductive outcomes among black women? How am I confronting the underlying forces that facilitate increased suffering and death among certain groups because of their skin color?

    Although it’s necessary, it is not enough for me to provide respectful health care to pregnant women of color.

    If I truly want to be part of the solution, I need to explore those parts of me that are most unwholesome, embarrassing, unflattering, and generally not discussed in the context of one’s career. My goal is to dismantle the insidious thoughts that reinforce a hierarchy based on race, education, and other markers of privilege that separate me from others. These thoughts, fed by implicit bias, are more common than I find easy to admit.

    Although I know not to believe everything I think, I also know that thoughts guide attention, and attention guides actions. Until I bring to light and hold myself accountable for my own racist tendencies, I am contributing to racism in health care.

    (To read it, I had to sign up for a free sub that allows 3 articles per month. It’s not long. If anyone wants to read more of it w/o subscribing, I can put the rest into a slow late night thread. Or it could be FPed.)

    In a very real sense, he has not betrayed them. He has done the things they would have done. The dissonance is that they’re such hate-filled assholes, they believed that if he shit on all minorities, destroyed everything Obama ever did, lowered taxes on the rich (because the liberals hate it), and beat his chest and yelled at other countries to respect America or else, their lives would suddenly become perfect. The corruption is only supposed to help, because it’s corruption to support their side.

    I would add that many of them feel, with some reason, to be powerless and resent the rules and restrictions they feel are holding them back from being super successful billionaires. Breaking all of what they consider harmful government restrictions and laws is what they would do if they had the courage, so Trump is a stand-in, a rule breaker, an outlaw, someone who does not let societal conventions hold him back from what he (and they vicariously) can become. He is their dream of themselves, they love him so.

That he has never actually gotten to that gold ring that he says he has is not relevant. To him or them. He’s gotten to be the head racist and that’s enough for him. And would be for any of them.

    @debbie:

    I’ve used GCT in the 1970s, and McSorley’s — but you have to watch the video! I was having flashback laughter during dinner. (But my husband won’t be able to take it.) But it’s so GREAT!

    @Aleta: That is a great thing for her to have written, and hey, it turns out this is also a doc who specifically works with HIV+ patients who need help to have healthy, HIV- babies. Wow.

    @Ruckus:

    cannot believe that Trump would ever betray them.
    Why would he, he’s one of them.

    You do not fully grasp the nuances of authoritarian thought. They will tell themselves “It is an honour to be betrayed by such an Alpha Male”, and “If he is ripping us off – his own people – imagine how aggressively he must be ripping off our enemies!”

    @rikyrah: Well, I wasn’t ready for that, Melania looked my sister (when she was young) before all the cosmetic surgery. 0o

    So basically, the First Lady of the Night with Melania is what the thred is implying.

    @Duane: America First is a big credit union in the Beehive Hairdoo State. I suppose corporate branding experts making the call is somewhat less heinous than academic bureaucrats doing so.

    Is this thread still alive? I don’t want to post in the doggie thread or disturb the Cole Sr post but this is too good (via TPM):

    Judiciary Committee member David Cicilline says, after Michael Cohen's testimony, that it may be time to hear from Sean Hannity. Under oath.https://t.co/RrTYHWU7ru— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) March 1, 2019
