Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

He really is that stupid.

When I was faster i was always behind.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

You would normally have to try pretty hard to self-incriminate this badly.

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Second rate reporter says what?

“Alexa, change the president.”

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Figured it made more sense to post this rather than update the earlier one:

    I got off the plane at midnight last night from visiting my fourteen year old autistic grandson. I’m not gonna’ blow sunshine up anyone’s tailpipe, his future scares me more than my past. Aut parents and grand-parents across the country quite likely unknowingly breathed a collective sigh of relief that could be felt by the more sensitive of our kind.

    Okay, I never have figured out how to link to tweets, but scoot you on over to Aaron Rupar’s Twitter feed and check out the clip he retweeted of DJTJ (Rupar’s comment is “Maybe it’s a bad idea to post every thought that rattles through your brain”). Junior is, I now believe, considerably more impaired than his daddy — and that’s saying a lot.

    It’s sad that no one, not his “girlfriend”*, his siblings, his mother, and certainly not his father seem to care enough to get him any help.

    * I think it is reasonable to conclude that if Trump’s SuperPAC and the RNC weren’t paying Kimberly Guilfoyle six figures a year, plus covering her healthcare and retirement, she wouldn’t give Jr. the time of day.

    @MagdaInBlack:

    inorite?

    @Adam L Silverman:

    Thanks. And yes, it’s easy enough to loathe him, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him. Anyone who does that much coke (or whatever he’s on) must be in the most excruciating psychological torment. I don’t think the g/f is going to intervene, though; I think she’s an active enabler.

    I think I’ve made this observation before, but it’s striking me again: There’s no doubt in my mind that TFG is possibly one of the worst fathers ever to procreate. But the first Mrs DJT nominally raised the three oldest kids, and they’re all dreadful beyond imagining. Yet nobody mentions her as an influence in their lives. They just talk about Donald. This is true whether he’s being spoken of admiringly or critically. It’s like Ivana just … up and disappeared.

    @Adam L Silverman: It’s all projection. All the things that Republicans say about Hunter Biden are happening in real time with this doofus.

  26. 26.

    Adam L Silverman

    June 28, 2021 at 8:19 pm

    @SiubhanDuinne: I don’t feel sorry for him. He did this to himself. By all reported accounts he’d gotten himself clean and sober and well away from his father. He’d moved to one of the mountain resorts of Colorado and was working as a bartender. Until his dad sent someone – most likely one of his two hitters, either Schiller or Calamari – to tell him that if he didn’t quite, move back to Manhattan, and go to work for his father, he’d be cut off. He could have made his own way, but chose not to.

    Adam L Silverman

    June 28, 2021 at 8:20 pm

    @Mary G: Except unlike Hunter Biden whose father, stepmother, and family care enough to get him help when he stumbles, no one can be bothered to do so with Jr.

    Good to hear about Jesse.  A hospital sounds like one of the better places for him to be after his family.

    Now if we could get Jr. TFG to a hospital that might be a happier place for him.  Someone speculated it could be Tramadol and Vivarin.

    How would those family members even be able to tell that jr. needed help, considering that they aren’t a whole lot mentally better than he is?

    @Adam L Silverman:

    All true, AFAIK, every word. It doesn’t mean that he’s not in psychological agony, though. You can abhor and deplore someone’s choices and behaviours, and still feel sorry for the pain they’re in.

    It’s not keeping me up at night but I wonder what’s up with Eric. He always seemed the most vulnerable of the five to me.

    Baron is also out of sight these days but he has grandparents and Melania looking after him.

    A tumbrel ride is much too good for that evil man.

    Not sure what’s going on here, but what is MIND why is that on my post

    Also too: dammit.
