Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

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

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

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

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

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

As An American, I Demand A Second Season Of Firefly

by Tim F|  December 5, 200810:23 am| 207 Comments

This post is in: Domestic Politics, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing

Sullivan dismisses public healthcare. One reason I’m a conservative is the British National Health Service. Until you have lived under socialism, it sounds like a great idea. It isn’t misery – although watching my parents go through the system lately has been nerve-wracking – but there is a basic assumption. The government collective decides everything. …

This post is in: Media, Popular Culture

I thought I would talk about something else, because I am afraid that Tim is perilously close to the first diagnosed case of a Schadenfreude overdose. At any rate, I tried to watch some tv last night, and there was NOTHING on. So I popped in Firefly, watched an episode, and got so upset I …

Late Night Open Thread: Prince of Reavers, Picking Through the Rubble

This post is in: Civil Rights, Open Threads, Tech News & Issues, MONSTERS

This simple thread throws a cold light on the essential truth of the twitter acquisition, the stupidity of the utter douchebags involved in it, and, I think, why it feels tragic in a way many corporate raids don’t. https://t.co/5yp3m7gwuo — southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) November 23, 2022 Like most of us, I descend from countless generations of …

Foreign Affairs Open Thread: Leaving Kabul, for Better or Worse

by Anne Laurie|  August 25, 202111:45 am| 161 Comments

This post is in: Excellent Links, Foreign Affairs, Our Failed Media Experiment

The objective success of the airlift despite the near-instantaneous Taliban takeover is almost enough to make me think that ostensibly procedural objectives to the withdrawal are really just objections to the withdrawal itself! https://t.co/yI45FVX2C0 — Scott Lemieux (@LemieuxLGM) August 23, 2021 It’s really one of the most irresponsible cases of the press committing itself to …
