Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Second rate reporter says what?

When I was faster i was always behind.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Consistently wrong since 2002

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

When asked by Tucker Carlson whether the US is headed towards a violent civil war, Donald Trump chooses to answer by praising the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th https://t.co/7opdx1PRIi

Sad RW Pandas Open Thread: Tucker & Trump

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/08/tucker-carlson-trump-interview-x-epstein-debate.html

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-tucker-carlson-debate-night-interview-epstein-civil-war-1234811372/

… Carlson closed the interview with a pointed question: “Do you think we’re moving towards civil war?”

Trump paused for a moment. “There’s tremendous passion, and there’s tremendous love,” he responded. “Jan. 6 was a very interesting day, because they don’t report it properly.”

“People that were in that crowd that day — a very very small group of people — went down there and there were a lot of scenarios that we can talk about, but people in that crowd said it was the most beautiful day they had ever experienced. There was love and unity.”

“I’ve never seen such spirit and such passion and such love, and I’ve also never seen, simultaneously and from the same people, such hatred of what they’ve done to our country,”Trump added.

“So do you think it’s possible that there’s open conflict?” Carlson pressed.

“I don’t know, I don’t know,” Trump replied. “I can say this: There’s a level of passion I’ve never seen, and there’s a level of hatred I’ve never seen. And that’s probably a bad combination.”

Saturday Morning Open Thread:  Big Talk About 'Civil War'
(h/t BethanyAnn)

For years now we've suffered a steady drumbeat of Nazi shooters almost identical in their ideology and method. AR-style rifle. Body armor. 8chan manifesto. Often swastikas and references to other shooters.

But half our media/government pretends they each occur in a total vacuum.
