Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

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

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

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

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

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

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

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

So many bastards, so little time.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

People are weird.

Despite the complete failure of the staff here at Balloon Juice Actual to get the initial post about a potential Seattle meet up posted in a timely manner, commenter CaseyL has reached out, informed me that a meet up will occur tomorrow night, and provided the details:

We managed to come up with a plan for tomorrow’s meetup, and would appreciate it much if you could do a post tonight so that more of the Seattle area BJers hear about it:

    At least you weren’t in charge of keeping Jeffrey Epstein alive.

    @Baud: None of us at the Meet Upening will have any responsibility for keeping (even the memory of) Jeffrey Epstein alive.

    @Baud: Haven’t you heard? He still is. They spirited him out, and he’s back in no-extradition-land. I read all about it on some blog.

    G&T read it on the Internets! It must be true!

    After that, Killary benghazied some uranium one in the basement of a basementless pizza parlor with her emails!

    Sorry. It’s hard not to mercilessly mock the ass-backwards conspiracy bullshit.

    Open thread question.
    During the ICE raid about 680 people were picked up. Three hundred were given future court dates. So, were the other 380 people innocent of any crime? Are they citizens or of otherwise legal status? Were they picked up because of wrong place, wrong time, wrong color? Or are they in jail now?

    What a cheerful place and great menu for the meet up. Looking forward to the proof of life pics.

    @patrick II: just spitballing, but I believe wrong color was the reason. Likely in for profit concentration camps, or on the move to distant for profit concentration camps.

    @patrick II: At least one was an American citizen wrongly detained. The others were processed and either deemed ineligible for parole until their hearings, had outstanding deportation orders making them immediately deportable, or it took longer than 6-12 hours to determine that they could be paroled until their hearings.

    I would love to make it, but getting to the other side of downtown Seattle at 6:30 through traffic would be horrific. Wednesday night is one of my race nights anyway, so I’m probably going to be willing a boat to cross Commencement Bay in 4kts.
