Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

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

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Cole is on a roll !

Russia bombs Ukraine’s maternity hospitals; Republicans in the House can’t sort out supporting Ukraine.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

by John Cole|  September 1, 200711:02 am| 3 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads

For Mike Nifong: Nifong was sentenced Friday to a single day in jail, having been held in criminal contempt of court for lying to a judge during his pursuit of rape charges against the three falsely accused lacrosse players. Superior Court Judge W. Osmond Smith III could have sentenced Nifong, who had already been stripped …

Duke Lacrosse

This post is in: Popular Culture

I was scanning USA Today at the coffee shop, and I saw that a Duke alumnus purchased a full page ad for them. This is the only write-up I can find at google news: A Duke alumnus purchased a full-page ad in today’s USA Today to support the Duke men’s lacrosse team. Bob Pascal’s black-and-white …

The Duke Rape Case

by John Cole|  April 18, 20069:15 am| 32 Comments

This post is in: Open Threads

More details are dribbling out: Nifong, bolstered by a medical exam that found injuries on the woman consistent with sexual assault, says he is confident that she was assaulted in the university-owned house. Nifong said last week at a forum at NCCU that the accuser identified at least one of her attackers. Until Sunday night, …

Look- We All Know He Did It, It’s Whether He Pays a Price

This post is in: Assholes

The most irritating thing about the whole Kavanaugh bullshit is that I know with every fiber of my being that he did everything he is being accused of, and the reason I know this is because I was one of those special kinds of asshole drunks that he palled around with for years. I never …

Taking Rape Victims Seriously

This post is in: Women's Rights Are Human Rights, All we want is life beyond the thunderdome

There’s been some media discussion recently about how poorly colleges tend to handle rape allegations… … In the center of this philosophical, and administrative, debate are the universities, which need to protect students, including innocent boys who may not look innocent, as in the Duke lacrosse case. There are good people here who have dedicated …

The War on (Cardboard) Women

by Betty Cracker|  March 15, 201211:50 am| 113 Comments

This post is in: Politics, Republican Stupidity, Vagina Outrage, Assholes, General Stupidity

As a woman, I’ve found the GOP’s eagerness to piss us off with all-male sperm-death panels, state-rape ultrasound-wand legislation, FCC-sponsored slut-shaming, etc., kind of puzzling. Not because the modern GOP has ever given a damn about women, but because it seems dumb for a party to go out of its way to alienate more than …

Just Like Rape

by John Cole|  December 8, 200811:06 am| 201 Comments

This post is in: Clown Shoes, I Read These Morons So You Don't Have To

Pure idiocy from Andrew Breitbart: At the exact moment Jon Favreau is receiving high praise in pre-inaugural media puff pieces, the 27-year-old chief speechwriter for President-elect Barack Obama (not Jon Favreau, the Hollywood actor/ director) finds himself in a minor mess over a photo from a recent private party showing him groping the breast of …
