Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The willow is too close to the house.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

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

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

Infrastructure week. at last.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Fox News: "We don't work for you Mister President, we volunteer as tribute."

— Schooley (@Rschooley) August 30, 2019

Because he's had Fox News as Trump-state media, Trump hasn't needed his own outlet. If there's ever a hint of daylight between them, he won't be content with only Twitter.

Trump is (inadvertently?) lending credence to critics' claims that Fox is akin to state-run TV, saying "we have to start looking for a new News Outlet."https://t.co/BZ6AQh2GYU

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 28, 2019

Trump admitting that he views Fox News as his propaganda arm is another one of those, "This is actually a big deal, but there's so much" stories that will barely be remembered in a week. Like knowingly manipulating the world markets.

    I know this makes me a bad person but I am rooting for Dorian to take out Mar A Shitlago root and stem. Tear it down to the ground. RIP the rebar out.

    Despite the shittiness of the owner, it’s a wonderful bit of architecture. Built by Marjorie Post and donated to the NPS, but Congress gave it back. It’ll find a good owner after Trump is in prison.

    In a better world, Mar-A-LagoGoFuckYourself would be blasted off the coast of Florida by a benevolent hurricane.

    I know I’m like three scandals behind but I’ve been googling and I can’t find the info—does anyone know the identity of the reporter who snitched out Madeleine Westerhout?

    If I correctly understand what transpired there’s an MSM “journalist” who is apparently desperate to curry favor with the Trump regime.

    They work for his boss.

    Who is no longer on his side, if he can’t offer up Greenland as tribute.

    The latest hurricane track looks better for those of us in the central and left side of Florida, bad for coastal Georgia and SC. I’m still going to make another grocery run to an all-night store here shortly.

    Trump cannot fail. Trump can only be failed. This is ridiculous (from CNBC):

    President Donald Trump on Friday argued “badly run and weak companies” have blamed his trade war with China for flagging business in order to mask “bad management.”

    His tweet comes as more companies from a range of industries have started to slam his tariffs on about $550 billion in Chinese goods. Earlier this week, more than 160 industry groups criticized Trump’s latest move to slap duties on Chinese products.

    Trump, who has tried to pin blame on the Federal Reserve rather than his trade conflict with the world’s second-largest economy as concerns about a looming recession grow, said companies “are smartly blaming these small Tariffs” for their difficulties.

    Next, he will be claiming that he stood on the shore and turned the hurricane away from Florida.
