Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The willow is too close to the house.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Let there be snark.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans in disarray!

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The revolution will be supervised.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This fight is for everything.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

After roe, women are no longer free.

    Because I’m a pill ………………………

    Here’s the FTNYT from January 27, 2022.

    “Two decades later, it is a far different fighting force that has massed near the border with Ukraine. Under Mr. Putin’s leadership, it has been overhauled into a modern sophisticated army, able to deploy quickly and with lethal effect in conventional conflicts, military analysts said. It features precision-guided weaponry, a newly streamlined command structure and well-fed and professional soldiers.”

    Here’s the current take from the Ukrainian victory shatters Russia’s reputation as a military superpower

    “The stunning success of Ukraine’s recent counteroffensive has exposed the rotten reality behind Russia’s reputation as a military superpower. More than six months since the onset of Vladimir Putin’s Ukraine invasion, it is now obvious that his army is in fact a deeply flawed institution that bears almost no resemblance to the immaculate fighting force of Red Square parades and Kremlin propaganda. Instead, the Russian military suffers from endemic corruption, low morale, and poor leadership, with individual initiative in short supply and commanders deeply reluctant to accept personal responsibility. Last week’s disastrous defeat in northeastern Ukraine will only worsen the situation, with officers gripped by fear as Moscow seeks scapegoats for what is shaping up to one of the most shameful military defeats in Russian history.”

    OT but on the relevant topic of Democrats telling Republicans to go fuck themselves:

    https://abortion.ca.gov/

    Newsom’s email:

    Earlier today, Lindsey Graham introduced legislation to ban abortion nationally. He said if Republicans take power in November, it’ll get a vote.

    We’re taking a different path in California.

    Not only are we going to pass a constitutional amendment in California to protect a woman’s right to access an abortion, but today our state launched a new website to provide resources for women to get reproductive care — no matter where they live.

    The site includes information on your right to abortion in California, and it includes information if you’re traveling to California from another state that has restricted access to an abortion.

    The truth is, what Lindsey Graham and Republicans are doing is about controlling women, it’s not about “protecting life.”

    It is honestly the height of perversity for national Republicans to call themselves “pro-life.” These are people who largely oppose funding for prenatal care. They are people who largely oppose paid family leave. These are people who voted to take away health care under the Affordable Care Act.

    And don’t even get me started on their response to the pandemic.

    Give me a break.

    People can access our new site at Abortion.Ca.Gov if you’re looking for resources. Please share it with anyone you think needs it.

    I hope it wasn’t a mistake naming it the “Inflation Reduction Act,” since most people won’t likely see much change in the short term due to this legislation. The admistration may have been counting on inflation going down naturally (the Fed) and American’s general lack of understanding would attribute the change to the legislation. The WaPo today used its headline to emphasize increasing inflation, when they could have just as accurately pointed to its slowing. The cap on out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare medications is good, but that doesn’t generally help younger people.

    I also think that the more important aspects of the act are found in the potential to finally do something — anything —  about climate change. But I see very little indication that the typical American cares enough about a future catastrophe, which has clearly already begun, to cause them to alter their own lives in any significant way. An example: What percentage of Americans ignores speed limits? When I have to drive to a nearby town for health care, I am constantly passed by speeding vehicles. The worst offenders are large pickup trucks and SUVs. The irony is that they pass me on the way, but when we arrive in town, we once again bunch up at traffic lights and I often get to my destination before they do. It’s as though every driver figures their behavior is insignificant (if they think at all) in contributing to carbon in the atmosphere, but since most people act the same way, the accumulation is significant. One thing that has long mystified me is why climate considerations never seem to enter into the decision-making process of even my most liberal friends.

    Once, when I lived in Colorado, there was a play in Denver that I really wanted to see. However, on the day of the performance, there was a serious air quality alert and drivers were asked to avoid any but necessary vehicle trips. I stayed home and my friends thought I was crazy. The play sold out.  To this day, I am sorry to have missed that play, but my first priority then, as now, is to act responsibly.

    I’d love to know what percentage of BJ drivers pay attention to speed limits.

    @Omnes Omnibus: I agree that, while the reply tears Trump’s arguments apart (usually noting how they fail even to address the arguments for the stay), the entity getting whacked by the brief is more the court than Trump.  The reply reads a lot like what we’d expect from an Eleventh Circuit order reversing Judge Trumptroll.

    A judge with a sense of shame would recognize that and find a way to reverse course, but this judge seems to have already decided to be Trump’s advocate.  She started with a pro-Trump result and worked her way back to idiotic reasoning in support and it would be a pleasant surprise if she admitted as much now.

    @TriassicSands: I always pay attention to the speed limit, but I am overly obedient sometimes.

    When I lived in Sacramento we had some vague idea that the downtown parking meters did not require feeding at some point on the weekends. I put money in the meters both days at all times, and my ex didn’t put money in the meters at any time on the weekends. Neither of us got tickets (it was pay Saturday, free Sunday).

    @The Moar You Know:

    I hope it hurt like hell the entire time he was expiring like a cast-off party balloon, because my mama was a world-class grudge hoarder and did a really shitty job of raising me

    He made the world a shittier place by his very existence and had no redeeming value as a human being whatsoever.

    Thank you for that sentiment.  Identical to mine including the world-class grudge hoarder mother.

    @Omnes Omnibus: In any authoritarian movement, your strength comes from the unelected government officials you can put in place to shield the elected ones.

    Berman’s assertions that those unelected officials were put in place specifically to protect Trump are why nobody has any faith in any of these courts to overturn jack shit, at least as far as Trump appointees are concerned.

    @Ksmiami: Seriously, I don’t think Trump is much longer for this world.

    He’s overweight, has heart disease, eats terribly, and is always raging about something.

    @zhena gogolia: “How do you know he has heart disease?”

    Anyone familiar with Trumpspeak knows that his statement about being a “physical specimen” is likely an admission of heart disease.  Hell, McDonald’s itself would probably admit under oath that consumption of their products at a Trumpian level inevitably leads to same.

    I’d love to know what percentage of BJ drivers pay attention to speed limits.

    I try to run about 6 mph above many speed limits, esp on the 4-lane corridor. City streets, not so much…

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    remind me how many election lawsuits Trump won.

    That would be none — zero — goose egg, zip !!!

    I’m also hoping Ken Starr was in pain, and also violently allergic to opiate pain relief.

    My mom would retch after pressing the button for more morphine in her post op hospital room recovering from her frozen shoulder procedure.  Docs could do nothing for her. She got over it, then. But I held the basin for her when she had to press the button for more morphine.

    Mom was a lady, size 3 or so, and pro-abortion rights in spite of being a Republican all her life. “Don’t tell your dad” she said! so I didn’t. I believe she had a dear friend or perhaps a cousin who died of a botched abortion back in the bad old days.

    Ken Starr was a monster, think of those women at Baylor he allowed to be raped. Hope he was miserable for months!!

    @Baud: Okay, not a lawyer obviously, but I read the .pdf and it sure seems like the DOJ holds all the actual cards and that Trump’s case is built on a house of cards.

    So this DOJ reply went to Florida, which means it went to the corrupt Trump judge and not to the 11th circuit.

    Am I right in thinking that nothing actually goes directly to the 11th circuit until the Sept 15 deadline has come and gone?
