Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

When I was faster i was always behind.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

There’s so much competition in the right-wing grift market these days, JOKeefe and his buddies are reduced to doing publicity for a local-market (ex) Fox weatherbimbo. SAD!

cannot emphasize enough how lame this project veritas video is. it’s a very thinly veiled grift, no more pic.twitter.com/wNBbQIstGk

… Fox 26 vice president and news director Susan Schiller told Hecker she “failed as a reporter” because she kept promoting hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug hyped by former President Donald Trump as a Covid-19 cure that was found to be largely ineffective against the coronavirus.

“You need to cease and desist posting about hydroxychloroquine,” Schiller told Hecker, who covered Dr. Stella Immanuel as a victim of “mass censorship.” Immanuel made headlines last year as a hydroxychloroquine advocate that also alleged alien DNA was being used in medical treatments and that some illnesses are caused by sex with demons…

It’s OK – she’s got a promising career in music https://t.co/l59MVeKz19 pic.twitter.com/AIvCPra2ev

No Wingnut Wurlitzer worker will ever go hungry, but I still wonder: Does Jimmy Felon get a cut of her YouTube proceeds, or is it just for the love of the ‘game’?

    Speaking of grift, WSJ has some interesting details of Stewart Rhoades expenses for the Oath Keepers

    Bank records reviewed by the Journal show thousands of dollars of Oath Keepers funds spent on goods and services near the town in Montana where Mr. Rhodes lived until recently, including at an auto-repair shop ($12,424), pet store ($83.50), dentist ($504), bar ($886), gun store ($9,974) and a lingerie and adult-goods shop called Alley Katz Nighties N Naughties ($229). The group also spent money on phone games ($275) and at an online perfume shop Fragrancenet.com ($256).

    When does the grift ever end? A recent Opening Arguments podcast revealed the scam that is Christian Healing Ministries: essentially health insurance without any regulation.

    And they create their own marks by steering the Republican Faithful away from anything that works…

    A Houston doctor who praises hydroxychloroquine and says that face masks aren’t necessary to stop transmission of the highly contagious coronavirus has become a star on the right-wing internet.

    ***

    Before Trump and his supporters embrace Immanuel’s medical expertise, though, they should consider other medical claims Immanuel has made—including those about alien DNA and the physical effects of having sex with witches and demons in your dreams.

    Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues. She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.

    She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious. And, despite appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on Monday, she has said that the government is run in part not by humans but by “reptilians” and other aliens.

    The incompetence is staggering.

    You would think Dump and his henchmen would do a background check or a simple google search to prevent such a stunt from blowing up in their faces. The problem was Dump spent decades dealing with NYC tabloids and celebrity gossip outlets, who by nature don’t want to debunk salacious and outrageous claims, and he got used to no one checking on his patently ludicrous statements.

    @mrmoshpotato: Did you see the clip of Trump’s birthday party, with his associates singing Happy Birthday but stumbling over what to call him, finally settling haltingly on Mister President, and Melania was conspicuous by her absence. Kimberly Guilfoyle was there, just no Melania. I didn’t notice his kids there, either, but I wasn’t looking for them. Jimmy Kimmel has the clip.

    “muzzling”, what a curious word to use. My employer has a very clear social media policy, and enforces it: you post bad things, you get a phone call. You keep posting bad things, you come up to the office to explain yourself. If you still keep posting bad things, you get canned, and earn the privilege of finding employment elsewhere. As an employee, you get a choice at each step.

    The word I believe she was reaching for was “consequences,” a concept that is apparently foreign to the Trumpistas.

    I guess I should add zerO’Qeffe to my notional Three-Group Group…though in his case one would need to pump an extra clip magazine‘s worth of slugs into the hips to ventilate the hindbrain and keep it from making more bullshit videos…
