Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The next time the wall wtreet journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

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

This really is a full service blog.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Late Night Horrorshow Open Thread: Masks Off (Hoods On)

In the last two weeks, Tucker Carlson has agreed with the idea that Republicans will eventually be “forced” to pick a fascist leader, has defended the fascists who attacked the Capitol on 1/6, and is now speaking up in support of neo-Nazi ideology. https://t.co/fh3IunJNQO

so we’re just gonna go full white supremacist great replacement on fox news now. no euphemisms. no wink wink.

not great bob

— Peloton InfoSec Analyst (Incident Response) (@CalmSporting) April 9, 2021

What Tucker Carlson says here about whites being replaced by the "Third World" lines up with what the New Zealand terrorist wrote in his 2019 manifesto.

Society condemned that document and pushed it off the web. This we feed to millions every night. https://t.co/Ty3ao6Hcfx

— Michael Edison Hayden (@MichaelEHayden) April 9, 2021

Hard to disagree with Tucker Carlson: these are just honest, hard-working, economically anxious and politically disenfranchised people who just really, really love this country.
Well, a country. pic.twitter.com/vj5EIOI4qQ

Of course, wealthy aristocrats like Carlson don’t lead their own slave patrols; there’s always ‘white trash’ bullies who’ll do the hard work in return for crumbs, plus the chance to feel better than Those People…

I guess he only went with “Hillbilly Elegy” because the book title “My Struggle” was already taken. pic.twitter.com/V7dXWlOPHO

The 2024 GOP platform is just gonna be “The Purge” box set. https://t.co/x48X1bmv6J

    They’ve decided to toss the dog whistles and just advocate for tyranny. I’m so tired of this.

    Truly one of the only good things to come out of the Trump years. It completely removed all pretense from the GOP.

    Say it loud. Say it proud boys!!! (pun intended)

    God this stuff is disgusting.

    Seeing as though the right wing ballbags want to boycott baseball let’s share some MLB stuff.

    Here’s the first no-hitter thrown in the 53-year history of the San Diego Padres.

    And here’s a young Phillies fan at the game in Atlanta with his dad.

    He had a tough start but he made up for it in the best way possible.

    And fuck Carlson and the rest of these racist cocksuckers.

    @J R in WV:

    it’s a shame we’re now being bothered by RWNJs again, like cicadas, they come around on an historical cycle, some prime number of years after the last outcrop, there’s that subtle low buzz.

    I wish there were some way of actually educating the current White Supremicists about the negative outcomes of their ideology, death, loss of life, degradation of whole cultures, unbelevable  economic destruction– talking them out of their hideous cultural perversion.

    The last time it  took WW II and the Marshall Plan to put down the Nazis, before that it was the First US Civil War and Reconstruction to take down the CSA, if it takes the Second Civil War to put down the White Fascists First Partie then that’s what it will take. The KKK has been stomped out by the at least twice now, But they ARE slow learners.

    I don’t think the people of America are ready to allow ignorant pig fuckers to take over the nation just yet. Especially if Trump is all tied up by his legal obligations for 9-to-14 years.

    Now Imma go back to bed, I hope these sleepy musings were as entertaining for you all to read as they were to write.

    ETA: Fuck Carson and all his other racist pig fuckers!

    Man, that Tucker Carlson is a whiny little bastard. And I guess his parents didn’t love him and tried to replace him with more lovable kids. I certainly can understand why.

    Nope. She’s upset that she’ll go to jail if she kills homeless people running free on the streets.

    “We’re all sitting ducks here and, by the way, the gun laws are really strict. And you think about if you can protect yourself, you’ll probably end up in jail.”

    Back to Anne Laurie’s original post. Why do entitled preppies get a pass that your local biker doesn’t get. They aren’t actually that different, except the biker had a more difficult childhood.

    Anyone remember when some cable company sent Tucker Carlson to Israel to cover an intifada? His producer and cameraman both yelling at him to get down because that artillery was real.

    That boy has been an idiot for years. Now we know an evil idiot, but an idiot nonetheless.

    ETA Missed opportunity there, but whatever. Probably would have had unfortunate repercussions.

    @Shalimar: Can you imagine being the investigator who makes the 5-minute call to Fox, gets the answer, and then somehow has to write a report justifying why he’s billing Lindell for 100 hours of investigation?

    I have more than a few problems with being able to stomach Jon Stewart, but can’t argue with his in your face classification of Carlson on the late, unlamented Crossfire.

    Weird awkward position. I am a step-step grandmother. My stepdaughterr has stepchildren. I am not supposed to care. I do, intensely. Mostley I try to blend in in a way they can accept.

    Sometimes the families are so fucked up you have to jump in.

    But the kids are just kids. Worth the intervention.

    @NotMax:  Jon Stewart gets a hell of a lot more right, then wrong, in my opinion. If yours varies from that, I would honestly have to wonder why?

    @brantl

    Late, late, late reply. Only saw your comment just now.

    Jon Stewart’s writers get more right than wrong. Left to his own devices, the record is spottier, IMHO.

    Regardless, he’s never been one I look to for deep insight.

    @NotMax: I’ve seen several interviews with Stewart, and he seems on the nose to me. He has clearly delineated where we need to go, and how we need to get there. I think he’s on the money.

    Tucker in his “She needs to stop making me hit her” stage of the abuse cycle.
