Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

Let there be snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Trump is going to draw a dick on that dog with a sharpie, isn’t he?

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Verified, but limited!

It’s not even safe to go out and pick up 2 days worth of poop anymore.

Tick tock motherfuckers! Tick fucking tock!

I thought we were promised Infrastructure Week.

The house always wins.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Not all heroes wear capes.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

How has Obama failed you today?

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

I personally stopped the public option…

… down to kool-aid drinkers and next of kin at the trump White House

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Lighten up, Francis.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

This is a big f—–g deal.

My inbox had photos in it when I got up this morning. I’m bummed, my whole crew turned up sick by week’s end, so I’m watching from home. But that means I can post photos during the day.

Here are some from Randy Kahn.

Outside Huntington Metro station and crowd leaving Archives Metro station.

And from Valerie:

On the bus, on the way.

I’m keeping up with the Denver march here.

And yes, I know I’m stepping on John, I’m sure he won’t mind, I just wanted to get the live feeds up. Keep those photos coming!!

ETA: Denver just now:

#WomensMarchDenver is rising up. https://t.co/Wpuf7LnwkA

You can see the DC crowds here (won’t embed) from the National Mall Cam

    MSNBC w/Joy was covering the march, but now we’re in church with Donald and Melania pretending to pretend to be Christian. Badly: LOL, Donald doesn’t know to bow his head for prayers, etc. Also, Melania exfoliated in the baptismal font because “Is good for pores, no?”

    Mrs. BG reports that they had to walk all the way down from Woodley Park, as the Metro was so crowded.

    Good sign of huge numbers! Several women from Toronto with them as well. Amazing solidarity.

    From the Denver march, a few minutes ago.

    Civic Center is beyond full.

    I think we’re not even going to go in. The lines for the light rail are backed up for blocks and I’m here listening to the D.C. march on C-SPAN. So cool though. Wish I was a lot younger and more spry; we would have to have left hours ago to even get close.

    @Skepticat: The Rally and March are on Independence Ave., not the Mall. So the Earthlink doesn’t give an accurate image. Independence Ave. is packed from about 3rd Street to 12th Street from what I can see. Then the overflow onto the Mall proper. Here’s a view from WaPo.

    I’ve watched it at least a dozen times. Happily, I’m not a pacifist, and enjoy seeing Nazis get hurt.

    Right now on twitter, there is a raging intersectionality being argued. On one hand are the white privilege snowflakes who advocate constant nonviolent engagement and respectful tolerance in all situations, and on the other hand, people who say “fuck that, Nazis want to erase people”, and that people who live in fascist regimes uniformly say that the fascists need to be crushed in the infancy of their movement, lest their ideas take hold.

Not going to Santa Ana because some of my friends who were going with me are sick, some are pretending to be sick, some admitted to me that they are scared of the homeless people camped there, and some who don’t admit it are scared of being around a large crowd of Hispanics. Per Facebook there is a local march !! here in the home of the former western White House and I am going alone to that, since it’s about a mile from my house and I can ride my scooter. Bail bonds number written in Sharpie on my leg, but I assume that in a wealthy 80%-white area the police will be deferent, if they come at all.

    Will protest by myself if necessary, but I hope to meet some braver friends.

    That’s bullshit. After a multi-year in depth study of Russians currently living in the US, it is quite clear they all came here to participate in Organized Crime of one variety or other. Murder, extortion, prostitution, trafficking, money laundering – you name it. Repeated viewings of Law & Order episodes through the years never steer you wrong.

    I dunno. I’m not a pacifist. Violence is sometimes justified, and I think people like Spencer need to be resisted by any means necessary. I’m thinking of how northern liberals and abolitionists weren’t willing to push back, even against violent thugs like Preston Brooks and Laurence Keitt, and then John Brown came along….

    I live across the street from the Vienna Metro station in Fairfax County VA. For the Inauguration, the station was a ghost town. Empty parking lot with lots of open spaces, no crowds at all. This morning for the march, huge crowds, parking lots packed, nonstop streams of buses, and many people walking to the station.

    @debbie: It’s not a purity pony. You, by your own admission, weren’t even sure what language it was. Could it have been Bulgarian? Ukrainian? Even if it was Russian, you are presumably aware that some Russians have given their lives to oppose Putin and Putinism. Yet you made a point of commenting to someone you know is fluent in Russian that your “core tightened in anger” when you heard what you assumed was the language. You tried to deflect it as snark, but it clearly wasn’t, and I’m struggling to comprehend what your objective was in making that comment. People whose personal history and politics you don’t know were speaking a language you don’t know and it got you angry. I do not find that admirable.

    Gandhi succeeded mainly due to overwhelming numbers. MLK succeeded (I’d argue marginally) because the alternative was Eldridge, Malcolm and Stokely). To me, the more enduring change came about in South Africa because of the mix making a CLEAR choice. ANC was focused and effective.

    We have a big Slavic community here–Russian and Ukrainian mostly–and I was startled to learn they are thrilled with Trump, support Putin and believe Ukraine is now ruled by despots who illegally overthrew the former leader. In short: they’re all BiP. Also comments about “not getting our money’s worth” from the Obama Administration (i.e., down with moochers, which is hilarious given how many receive housing and other government subsidies).

    British authorities in India were pretty brutal in their crowd control tactics. They would beat people up and imprison them. Peaceful protesters were shot at too, at times. See the famous Jallianwalla Bagh massacre. This after thousands of Indians died in WWI on both the western front and in the Middle East fighting for the British.

    And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
    ‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
    And I’ve been down there on the floor
    No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
    Oh yes, I am wise
    But it’s wisdom born of pain
    Yes, I’ve paid the price
    But look how much I gained
    If I have to, I can do anything
    I am strong
    (Strong)
    I am invincible
    (Invincible)
    I am woman
    You can bend but never break me
    ‘Cause it only serves to make me
    More determined to achieve my final goal
    And I come back even stronger
    Not a novice any longer
    ‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
    Oh yes, I am wise
    But it’s wisdom born of pain
    Yes, I’ve paid the price
    But look how much I gained
    If I have to, I can do anything
    I am strong
    (Strong)
    I am invincible
    (Invincible)
    I am woman
    I am woman watch me grow
    See me standing toe to toe
    As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
    But I’m still an embryo
    With a long, long way to go
    Until I make my brother understand
    Oh yes, I am wise
    But it’s wisdom born of pain
    Yes, I’ve paid the price
    But look how much I gained
    If I have to, I can face anything
    I am strong

I’m thinking of how northern liberals and abolitionists weren’t willing to push back, even against violent thugs like Preston Brooks and Laurence Keitt, and then John Brown came along….

    I’m not, but you should only get violent in a just cause and if it is advantageous to do so. I do not think it’s going to help the cause today if the ladies at the march started rampaging up and down the mall smashing things and fighting with the cops. If they get attacked on the other hand…

I love the high desert, and the rain calms me. Which was good, because I spent four hours at my mother’s house with Fox News in the background.

    @Mary G: How frustrating for you! It’s one thing to know in advance you can’t go, another to be thwarted at the last minute. Hope you can/did work something out – though if so, you probably won’t see this comment. ;->

    My husband ran into our neighbors down the hall in the lobby of our building earlier this am – they were heading to the march downtown (SD) with several friends.

    My sister, two nieces and a gaggle of her friends who go back to my time as a little boy are representing Mom and women in DC, it’s packed, her husband’s phone is dying from sending pics and the report on the energy is that it is powerful.

    Trains going into Portland are jammed. Tri-Met is running as frequently lt as possible. One of the local community colleges is represented by an entire department. Pink anything goes, since there aren’t enough hats. Hair was a popular choice.

    Gimme a break. Fox is ignoring the marches! Had some talking heads bloviating about Trump and the intelligence community, then regular commercials, now a panel is talking about “President Trump calls for unity.”

    Even the crawl at the bottom is ignoring the marches.

    Back to MSNBC.

    Wolf Blitzer is covering the marches on CNN. Headline News is running one of its bullshit weekend crime shows. The “broadcast” networks are running their usual sportsball games.

    ETA: Christ, I checked back on Fox to make sure I wasn’t maligning them, and they’re now showing Uday’s (Donald Jr.) phone-camera video of some of the Trumps bowling on the White House lanes.

    @zhena gogolia:
    You would have been amazed at the crowd that I was in at the train station. Mostly white but still lots of shades of color as well, all ages, including many that looked as old or older than this old white dude, who. as the British say, is a pensioner. Now I do live in the workers paradise of CA so that may have something to do with it. And I just got off of FB, I had to check if I needed to unfriend anyone else. I did. Not all that surprising, a few of my not friends on FB do not like living in the workers paradise of CA. I’m very close to asking them why don’t they move to say Alabama, or Mississippi if they think taxes are too high or life is too good here.

    The TV coverage by C-SPAN in DC has been great. I didn’t watch a minute of trump’s inauguration, but I’ve been watching this coverage all day. Very uplifting and encouraging. Much strength, much power in the crowd and in the speaking guests.

    @Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes: We actually had a clash in Seattle last night, outside a Milo Yiannopoulis speech. Someone, probably a protester, has been shot and is reportedly in critical condition. A suspect has been taken into custody.

    Yiannopoulis tells men who feel that their masculinity is threatened to arm themselves with lethal force. This is likely to lead to deaths. Now, for all I know, the shooter was in fact acting in self-defense; the Black Bloc turned out ready to rumble and there are reports of violence. And, damn, someone might have been hurt if there had been no firearms involved, but chances are no-one would have been in critical condition. Thanks, Milo.

    Just got back from the D.C. March. I have never seen so many people downtown. I’m sure there have been bigger protests but this was much larger than I think anyone expected. I didn’t stay for the formal march but went down PA Ave with John Kerry. There were so many people that it made sense to spread out and send a message, wherever you were. Just made me proud to be American, and I needed that after yesterday!

    I didn’t plan it but wound up attending the last bit of the Wellington march (one of a number of a marches around New Zealand) yesterday. There were a lot of people and a lot of cool signs

    (ignore the slightly pompous stuff headline and the comments, the actual content is cool). We have an election later this year so it was a good and timely reminder to get involved.

    The signs I’m seeing and reading about are awesome. Liberals are smart, creative and hilarious. Umpteenth reason I’m not a rightwinger. I’d die from just from the boredom.

    MSNBC’s coverage has been wall to wall and very good. Now Fox is grudgingly doing occasional short reports on the marches in between their other bullshit. (Their theme today is “The Inauguration of Donald J. Trump.”)

    Those signs are here in Portland. Pussy umbrellas and pissy signs are popular, although many took the high road “Standing on the side of love” and “love trumps hate.”
