Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

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

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

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

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Open Thread & Announcing Tuesday Evening Legal Zoom with Immanentize (7 pm ET)

With all the legal ins and outs related to the (likely) upcoming indictments and trials related to Trump’s Attempted Coup and Criminality, I asked Immanetize if he would be up for doing another zoom about legal stuff.  Gracious, as always, the answer was yes!

Other legal BJ peeps – as well as non-legal peeps – are most welcome to participate!

Folks seemed pleased with the last one, so I think this is gonna be great!  Who’s interested?

So if you’re up for joining the zoom on Tuesday, July 18– either with video or just audio – please chime in below and send me an email so I can reply with the zoom link.

Otherwise, open thread!

    Ahem. His nym is Immanentize, I believe.

    While I’m here, did you get both the pictures of Aoife that I emailed you? The Picture 1 email has a paragraph of text that you can include in the post.

    J did!  I wrote back right away asking what day and time you would like the post to go up.  I suck at time zones, so if you want to just answer that question in a reply here – giving the time in Eastern time – I will get that set up right away.

    It could even be this afternoon if you want, just let me know the day and time.

    @Amir Khalid: Okay, so you go to bed around 1pm blog time?

    So i think we’ve missed the window for today.  How about tomorrow at 11:15 blog time?

    edit: Changed from 11 to 11:15 because I am on central time and I will get home at around 10:15 am tomorrow.

    Would there be a thread a guy could monitor for the juicy facts Imm will provide? That is better for me than audio/video..

    ETA.  So looking forward to seeing new kitty pix!

    @J R in WV: I second that request. Maybe some digitally facile jackal will live blog it. I don’t zoom, but I think there will be valuable thoughts exchanged that I would like to see.

    In return, I would continue to fill people in on events in Turkiye.
