Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

Biden: Oh no. We’ve upset Big Pharma again.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Let there be snark.

It’s a new day. Light all those Biden polls of young people on fire and throw away the ashes.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

The Trump Doctrine and the US’s Abdication of the Pursuit of Justice for the Extra-Judicial Execution of Jamal Kashoggi

by Adam L Silverman|  November 21, 201812:01 pm| 96 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads

Yesterday the President issued a factually inaccurate, morally bankrupt screed dressed up as his official statement, and therefore the official position of the United State’s, regarding the extra-judicial execution of Jamal Kashoggi.  The President’s statement referenced the nowhere near finalized Saudi offer to buy US weapons to outfit the Saudi military. An offer that if …

The actual Trump Doctrine, which we’ve covered here at Balloon Juice extensively since the President gave his first campaign speech about national-security and foreign policy back in April 2016, is: America’s allies are taking advantage of our treaty and other obligations in the national security space; America’s allies and peer competitors are ripping the US …

The Philadelphia Eagles fall prey to the “or else” portion of the Trump Doctrine! What a child! The Eagles are really missing out on the opportunity to stand there while the President fucks up their names, barely mentions the Super Bowl, then tells a pointless story about how NFL owners were very unfair to him …

I Will Be Treated Fairly Or Else: Lesley Stahl Explains The Application Of The Trump Doctrine To The News Media

The President has had a long and largely unpleasant relationship with the news media since he declared his candidacy. As in he’s been unpleasant to the news media. A good chunk of this was set early on with his penning of reporters in at his campaigns and using them as foils, as well as his …

The Trump Doctrine In Action During The Campaign: Is There Any Agent Of Influence Donald Trump Jr Didn’t Meet With?

Apparently not! From The New York Times: Three months before the 2016 election, a small group gathered at Trump Tower to meet with Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. One was an Israeli specialist in social media manipulation. Another was an emissary for two wealthy Arab princes. The third was a Republican donor with a …

Early this morning, three Korean Americans who were being held prisoner in the DPRK landed at Joint Base Andrews and were greeted by the President. “We want to thank Kim Jong-un, who really was excellent to these three incredible people.”https://t.co/0APtyURNDF — Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) May 10, 2018 Stop for a second.
