Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Giving up is unforgivable.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

I’m looking for a word to describe a dog whistle x100.  Anybody have one?

    Yes, you read that headline correctly. A child was traumatized, not by a violent picture or a scary movie scene, but by a poster of people of two different races holding hands.

    Trustees of Conroe ISD, an independent school district North of Houston, Texas, have argued that symbols of racial inclusivity and pride represent “personal ideologies,” and need to be removed from their schools, according to ABC 13.

    Wake me up when these judges stop treating Donald with deference and not like every other indicted criminal defendant. According to lawyers that practice in Federal court, it is exceedingly rare for a defendant that directly violates a judge’s order doesn’t go to jail awaiting trial. Judge Chutkan admonished Donald’s lawyers but let the defendant slide with an admonition that she would set the trail date sooner than later. Trump seems to be elated and continues to defy the court(s).

    @Elizabelle:

    “Perfect phone call.”

    It always amuses me that he has to say that, over and over and over again.

    Send him to prison, Phoney Fani.

    “Perfect phone” call is one of the few times he’s honest. He truly believes extorting people you may have power over is the most perfect use of a phone call.

    @taumaturgo: Trump hasn’t said shit about the case that Chutkan issued the Protective Order on.  He’s free to do so on other cases unless the judges on them pass similar Protective Orders, which they likely will.

    @NotMax: Trump will try to be cute and only taunt the people from the cases that don’t have a protective order, and he’s either gonna get himself in trouble for being too cute by half or he will get confused about which case he can’t stir the pot for, and he’ll land in hot water that way.

    I just hope that when it happens, the water is VERY HOT.

    @taumaturgo: I think the promise of Chutkan setting an earlier trial date if TIFG doesn’t toe the line is the ONE thing that will bring TIFG to heel. He wants to delay as long as possible.

    He DOESN’T want an early trial at all.

    @scav: You mock, but I genuinely expect an attack on Loving v Virginia within the next 5 years at most. They’ll wait to see how the 24 election turns out, and if there’s absolutely no chance of Dem court packing, one of the Southern state legislatures will pass a law against it. Which is terrifying for me because I recently learned my niece is dating a black man, and the closest thing I’ll ever have to a son (a former student of mine from my teaching days) is another black man also living in Mississippi who is in an interracial marriage and has a mixed race child.

    @pat:

    VOANews.com:

    Two witnesses who previously received subpoenas confirmed on Saturday that they have been told to appear before a grand jury in Atlanta on Tuesday, the clearest indication yet that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will lay out her case to the jury after more than two years of investigating.

    Geoff Duncan, the state’s former lieutenant governor, told CNN that he had been asked to testify on Tuesday.

    “I’ll certainly answer whatever questions are put in front of me,” said Duncan, a Republican who has criticized Trump’s false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

    An independent journalist, George Chidi, said in a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, that he had also been instructed to appear on Tuesday.

    A spokesperson for Willis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday. She has indicated she would seek charges by the end of next week, and security measures have visibly increased around the county courthouse in recent weeks.

    (Emphasis added.)

    The story has a February 2021 picture of her “at her office”. All you can see is her and walls of numbered banker boxes (the largest I see is “265”)…

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Citizen Alan: Let me assure you, I do not mock — or more exactly, do not mock without expectations.  They’ll also potentially start policing schoolyards for overt evidence of uncomforting interpersonal relationships in both staff and maybe even parents.  Schools could be confined in closets to protect the threatened wee excuses.  They do love to control local levels and those already crazed school boards will need a stream of new targets.

    The protective order is only for once case – and there are at least 3 others right now, with more to come.
