Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

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

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

He really is that stupid.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

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

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

I was promised a recession.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

An almost top 10,000 blog!

T R E 4 5 O N

Not all heroes wear capes.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

The Oklahoma Ruling

HBO’s Watchmen ended up UNDERSELLING Eastern Oklahoma as the setting where America’s numerous simmering social conflicts would come to a head at the turn of the 2020s. https://t.co/KgQVnfcDwT

Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that much of eastern Oklahoma is an Indian reservation, preventing the state from prosecuting Native Americans there https://t.co/nSpkspLWYW

— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 9, 2020

…It was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Westerner who has sided with tribes in previous cases and joined the court’s more liberal members”
So good to see Tribes winning at SCOTUS (+ over Trump’s opposition, Admin filed a brief+argued against Tribes)https://t.co/0of6azUfGP

— Neal Katyal (@neal_katyal) July 9, 2020

This was written by Neil Gorusch in this morning’s 5-4 ruling in McGirt v Oklahoma and this SCOTUS is weirder and more interesting in its judgements than I think most people would have guessed pic.twitter.com/7Ms1MLKuCi

Justices rule swath of Oklahoma remains tribal reservation

And luckily Jackson is dead because if he wasn’t he’d challenge Gorusch to a duel.

— Tom Maher (@BoyDharma) July 9, 2020

The persistent theme of Gorsuch’s Indian jurisprudence is (1) empathy for tribes screwed over by the government, and (2) an insistence on holding the government to its treaties and (broken) promises. Here’s the beginning and ending of his opinion today. https://t.co/8tlfo2uafh pic.twitter.com/8RuDtuNfca

=============

“After a century of #Oklahoma not following our treaty rights, the Supreme Court said no more.”

To learn why #McGirt is so important, listen to all eight episodes of “This Land,” the groundbreaking podcast by Rebecca Nagle (Cherokee). @rebeccanagle #ThisLand #HonorTheTreaties https://t.co/4dSPRRgG9t

IT’S HERE!

The U.S. Supreme Court has narrowly sided with Indian Country in one of the most consequential cases in recent history.#McGirt #HonorTheTreatieshttps://t.co/zxZ89lSdzR pic.twitter.com/c2oR51rdG8

— indianz.com (@indianz) July 9, 2020

mcgirt, who won today, won the right to be retried for child molestation in federal court instead of oklahoma state court. nobody in the creek tribe gets any land back and if congress wanted to it could reverse this decision tomorrow by formally abrogating the treaty.

— Sigh Hersh, Hostile Witness (@Ugarles) July 9, 2020

==============

Neil Gorsuch & the four liberal Justices just gave away half of Oklahoma, literally.

Manhattan is next. https://t.co/Ic9gqqznJp

— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) July 9, 2020

It’s called honoring a treaty, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand honor.

— csd (@csd) July 9, 2020

Maybe Oklahoma should have respected the treaty the USA signed with the Creek tribe instead of trying to pretend it doesn’t exist?

— Pé (@4everNeverTrump) July 9, 2020

I’m not a highfallutin’ lawyer & such, but seems to me that that Manhattan deal being 150 years before there was a United States complicates fine senator’s hyperbole. https://t.co/qJ07XAozor

— Dana Houle (@DanaHoule) July 9, 2020

ted are you workshopping your parler material on twitter again by turning a big dial that says RACISM and looking back at the audience https://t.co/7IkboHI2zV

— kilgore trout, suburban female understander (@KT_So_It_Goes) July 9, 2020

Someday I’d like to see a definitive break down on the faux stupid populists of the Republican Party and the actually stupid populists of the Republican Party. https://t.co/GCPsYwGg5V

    This was over a year ago.  Am I missing something?

    @Baud:  My guess is that the wrong button was pressed.

    I still enjoyed reading the post though.

    Does this mean we can smoke marijuana in Muscogee?
    @Baud: 
    I was wondering the same thing.
