Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

When I was faster i was always behind.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

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

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

    Meanwhile, over in RWNJ world, Dr Faucci is called a fraud and Trump the one who wisely didn’t panic and kept things real in the face of false information about COVID.  Facts are no match for the impenetrable shell of an epistemologically closed bubble over in RWNJ territory.

    The main use of these threads, going forward, i would think would be for international Juicers (who have less vaccine access than American Juicers) or when new age groups have access to the shot – eg kids 2+ later this fall, hopefully. (though that would be more about vaccinating the family than us personally, I suppose)

    I’m hosting a class this morning at my shop. Four students, one instructor. Everyone here is vaccinated with the exception of one young person; there’s a grandma in the group whose son won’t let her visit the grandkids if she’s been anywhere in the vicinity of an unvaccinated person.

    We have worked it out, more or less, with the help of a separate small table for the unvaccinated person and cranking up the air circulation.

    Cripes, though. Is this going to be the new normal? I was hoping I wouldn’t have to be the diplomat in these situations.

    Got my second shot Monday; probably don’t need the second shot biologically since I had COVID as well, but I can demonstrate vaccination now when it’s required. Got a little sick the next day but not nearly as bad as after the first shot.

    I’ll take double green balloons, thx.

    “Got the shot” may be winding down amongst Balloon Juice readership for now, but it will be back when we start needing boosters. That might be as early as this fall, but maybe we’ll get a longer break.

    Only person in the house who hasn’t had the shot is the teen. His aunt who is close to his age came to see us yesterday and we tag teamed nagging him over burgers and onion rings. The good thing is that his dishwasher job which he loves, is also on the case, except they are so busy that he is working all the hours in the week. He says he will do it soon but he’s truly needle phobic and I suspect he will stall until he turns 18 in September and can get the one shot J&J version.

    Can I have the eagle “make it happen” sticker to show him? Maybe knowing that strangers on the internet are on his case will help.  Bribery no longer works.

    @cmorenc: I won’t give them the clicks, but I will say “ugh”.  These are the same people who would have joined the moonies a million years ago.

    What prompted me to check out the “Faucci is a fraud” RWNJ meme was the first soccer game I refereed late this spring after North Carolina lifted the mask mandate for scholastic sports on April 30 – and one of my fellow refs in the crew was someone I’d worked with plenty of times before, but never before had we gotten into any sort of political discussion.  At halftime, he made an off-hand remark about how relived he was not to have to wear a mask, especially now in warmer weather (check, I agree with that sentiment) – but then he gratuitously added that the reason for the mask mandate in the first place was because of Faucci’s fraudulent advice, then further adding that Faucci helped fund the Chinese lab that set the virus loose in the first place !!**  There were some further points he made in our brief conversation about this matter that quickly drove home that his information sources were concentrated from NewsMax-type sources, and trying to engage him with actual facts was hopeless against an impenetrable shield of RW media disinformation.

    ** what this distortion is based on is that the US funded observers at the Wuhan lab, until Trump yanked the funding and authorization for such incident to his pique with China, back before COVID was at all on the horizon, and Faucci was on-board with our placement of observers at the facility.

    He can’t be any more needle-phobic than I have been all my life, and I breezed through both Pfizers.

    One trick that helped me a LOT was to gaze at one of those “optical illusions” apps on my phone (there are a lot of them, called things like “Mesmerise” and “Hypnotise”) — kind of like spooling into an endless psychedelic spiral of shapes and colours. It’s supremely distracting, and I quite literally hardly noticed the jab itself because I was so immersed in the pretty patterns  :-)  If the Teen has a phone, have him download one of those apps and have it open when he goes for his vax.

    @WaterGirl: I can’t be mad at him. He spent the first six weeks of the first quarantine in his room. Seriously, he only came out in a mask and gloves to get food. For six weeks at age 17. Hard for me to do at 64, and I am a hermit.

    After a bunch of doctors said it was airborne and I was worried about his mental health, I told him he could go out if he took a shower the minute he got home and put his clothes in the washer.

    He declined to get together with some of his friends who were too lax about it, and went to the beach and the skateboard park and ate outside at the taco stand only.

    He was very scrupulous about that and after a while I told him to just wash his hands when he got home, which he does to this day, and uses Clorox wipes on the door handle and faucet afterwards.

    His mom and stepdad have both been tested for their healthcare work and have been negative. His girlfriend comes over in a mask until she gets into his room, when I assume it comes off, but I never go in there, so I don’t care.

    His aunt who was here is studying to be a nurse, the first in the family to go to college, and she got on the county app the day it opened and has had most of the family vaccinated since mid-January. She and I played good cop/bad cop, where I did a wistful “I still have to eat alone at my desk, because Teen isn’t vaccinated” as I accepted my burger, and she went off at him hammer and tongs. So I am not going to jump in on that, it’s covered.

    @cmorenc: Our very own Cheryl Rofer pointed out this great thread on Twitter.

    One thing you see a lot on here is people pointing out the contradictions in the putative views of Trump’s GOP. COVID is a Chinese plot but also a hoax. The insurrection was antifa but also a tour of patriots.
    — Will Stancil (@whstancil) May 29, 2021

    What people need to understand is that these contradictions aren’t a SYMPTOM of Trumpism. They point to its very core – its emotional, psychological appeal to millions of America. The ability to sustain these contradictions is why Trump was elected, how his movement exists.

    Ultimately what Trump offers – what fascism offers – is a philosophy of total emotional and psychological indulgence. Believe whatever makes you feel best. Live your politics examined.

    Don’t want to take credit for the insurrection, but want to claim its dead as your martyrs? Go ahead! Say it! The Capitol was attacked by antifa but Ashlii Babbit was a hero patriot.

    Hate China, but annoyed by the scolding liberals and their masks? Call the coronavirus a Democratic hoax – and at the same time, a deadly foreign bioweapon.

    Voters aren’t drawn to Trump’s politics because of a specific policy view or really even an ideology. They’re drawn to them because those politics say: “Please, think whatever is easiest. Indulge in your laziest ideas and basest prejudices. There are no rules. Save one.”

    “You must support the leader. You cannot abandon the leader. Support for the leader absolves you of the burden of rationality and the sin of inconsistency. Indeed, faith in the leader can be proven by embracing irrationality and rejecting consistency. Prove your faith.”

    That’s why Trumpism and fascism reliably attract the worst and the weakest, the dumb, the selfish, and the cowardly. It’s an endlessly flexible vessel for their worst vices, willing to forgive anything and let them do anything in exchange for loyalty to the strongman.

    The mistake American political thinkers keep making is to try to link Trump to preexisting ideology. There are ideas associated with Trumpism, of course, but THEY are the symptom: what happens when you let people indulge in whatever fleeting hate takes their fancy.

    You can’t understand Trump’s rise without looking at this deeper psychological appeal. This is his promise to his voters, it’s why nothing his movement says or believes makes sense, and no one seems to care.

    It’s also why we can’t triangulate or maneuver his supporters away from him. They don’t really want any of what we’re offering, anyway – they want the freedom to do and think whatever they feel at any moment, something no liberal of any description could ever promise.

    First shot done last Monday; second shot in September… which can be moved up as supply opens up around here, which it is predicted to do. Maybe second shot in mid-August.

    @Malovich:  Congratulations!  You must not live in the states.  May I ask where you live?  (generally speaking)

    What stickers would you like?

    Yesterday was my two-weeks-fully-vaccinated day, and I got my daughter her second Pfizer shot. We arrived at the vaccination location without her vaccination card/ID and had to go back and get it, so she ended up being the last person vaccinated that day. Today, she seems a little tired with a sore arm but not particularly ill. Rosie & Thurston for her.

    Second dose of AZ done here in Blighty. The Child came along to see what it was like (we expect they’ll approve Pfizer for her age group soonish, and she’ll be vaxxed sometime in the autumn).

    I’ll take a Steve, please.

    I just got my 2nd Pfizer dose this morning – I am now fully vaccinated! The clinic guy said that the crowds are beginning to taper down as it was packed 3 weeks ago but only a few there today. Fauci sticker please.
