Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

False Scribes! False Scribes!

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

The revolution will be supervised.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

This is how realignments happen…

Just a few bad apples.

What fresh hell is this?

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

The math demands it!

Shelter in place is one thing. Shelter in pants is quite another.

Let there be snark.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Historically it is a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

No one could have predicted…

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Trump's State of Disunion - Jack Ohman

(Jack Ohman via GoComics.com)

 
Of course it was a load of manure — that’s the best the beast is capable of producing. More shame on the gutless GOP sacks in suits who, to protect their own sinecures, not only voted the horse as their leader, but insisted it was the finest orator and firmest patriot since Tailgunner Joe McCarthy dined alone (with his DTs).

A lot of punditry has once again switched into 2016 mode, in which every transgressive act, and every freakish moment, is treated as revolutionary political theater, and not the shabby burlesque it truly is. https://t.co/ZRtwjlCdEF

— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) February 5, 2020

Commentary, at this point, would be superfluous… El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago delivered his State of the Union address, one of the few constitutional responsibilities of his office that he hasn’t ignored. Which is not to say he hasn’t degraded it, too. On Tuesday night, he turned it into a cheesy spectacle that belonged in, say, a casino sinking into bankruptcy in Atlantic City.

He bestowed the Presidential Medal Of Freedom on Rush Limbaugh, hanging it on that rancid bag of old sins, right there in the House chamber. He arranged a surprise family reunion for a soldier home from deployment, right there in the House chamber. He told an African-American schoolgirl that he, personally, was going to see to it that she can go to a good school. He congratulated another child on not having been aborted, and promised that he, personally, would see to it that nobody was. These Dear-Leader-Grants-a-Wish moments are straight out of a dog-eared playbook used by various members of the Kim family in North Korea. Weaponized sentimentality is a powerful tool in authoritarian hands.

The speech itself was the usual farrago of lies and bigotry…

This is a lying, criminal president*, aided and abetted by a political party that lost its mind long before it lost its way, and that now swallows poisonous pablumlike this:

If forcing American taxpayers to provide unlimited free health care to illegal aliens sounds fair to you, then stand with the radical left. But if you believe that we should defend American patients and American seniors, then stand with me and pass legislation to prohibit free government health care for illegal aliens.

It’s morning in American carnage.

The State of the Union is hurting because of the occupant of the White House, who consistently demonstrates contempt for the American people, contempt for Congress & contempt for our constitution. I cannot in good conscience attend tonight's sham #SOTU ? https://t.co/DTwG3Y7dK3 pic.twitter.com/Hres8eAFkK

— Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (@RepPressley) February 4, 2020

"Bullying people on Twitter doesn't fix bridges. It burns them. Our energy should be used to solve problems," Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says in Democratic response to President Trump's #SOTU speech. https://t.co/bulmjJOCUb pic.twitter.com/vFN3q17evK

— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) February 5, 2020

Don't be distracted.

He did it once. And he will continue to cheat in the elections.

He abused his power once. And he’s planning on doing it again.

For Trump and Republicans in Washington, it’s #StateOfTheCoverup. #SOTU

— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) February 5, 2020

And it turns out even a lot of the rubes low-info voters weren’t buying what the Oval Office Occupant was ‘saying’…

Nielsen says Trump's ratings for the State of the Union were down 20% from last year and well below the numbers in 2017 and 2018. https://t.co/8FKPwWetOj

— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) February 6, 2020

Pelosi is estimated to be responsible for roughly 80 million dollars in DCCC fundraising in 2018 alone. Part of the reason she's in charge is because she pays everyone's bills. https://t.co/Y033Vf3AIk

— Iowasca Tripper (@agraybee) February 5, 2020

1) Pelosi does some glib meme-y thing that some people politely applaud on Twitter
2) Republicans absolutely lose their shit
3) Twitter leftists absolutely lose *their* shit
4) Some ham-faced Midwestern white guy runs for the Speakership in 2020, loses badly
5) Rinse, repeat

    Luckily I was on vacation in Auckland NZ at the time.  We had a lovely dinner that night, grilled octopus for the missus and grilled beef tongue for me.  And a wonderful local Sav Blanc.  I would guess my evening was far better than most who watched the shitshow.

    Matt Schlapp stated that he “Fears for Romney’s physical safety if he attends CPAC.”  This was posted on gay progressive blog Joe My God.  It’s been reposted hindreds of times including by Rick Wilson, Joe Walsh, Bill Kristol, and David Frum.  Old style con’s reposting a gay blogger?!

    Plus Schlapp indirectly threatening a US Senator!*

    Something I think deserves more comment about Speaker Pelosi as the Democratic leader.

    She picked Jason Crow as one of the House Managers of the Impeachment Trial.

    Jason Crow, in January 2019, voted against Pelosi as Speaker.

    Jason Crow, an Aurora Democrat, told The Colorado Sun he wasn’t worried about backlash from Pelosi because of his opposition to her speakership.        (Jan 3, 2019)

    Fucking Buttigieg is at his Republican talking points again: “Pete Buttigieg called on Democrats to get more serious about lowering the national debt, portraying himself as the biggest fiscal hawk in the presidential field and taking a shot at chief New Hampshire rival Bernie Sanders for being too spendthrift. Asked at a town hall here how important the deficit is to him, Buttigieg said it’s “important” and vowed to focus on limiting the debt even though it’s “not fashionable in progressive circles.””

    Something that cannot be said of Pelosi often enough: she is the leader and manager of a coalition of congresspersons, many of them a/holes who think they could do the job better than she does. She also must answer to or at least not alienate the Democratic donor class and many of them think they should rule the world.

    @smintheus:   Yeah, I don’t like the South Bend mayor using this issue against other dems either. But come the general, the deficit will be one helluva club with which to beat Trump. His theme is “Promises Kept,” but ending the deficit is a major promise he broke. The deficit is on track to exceed one trillion dollars this year.                                            “Trillion Dollar Tax Cut for the Rich” was one of the Democrats’ best issues in the 2018 congressional races. A whopper deficit makes the issue even more potent.

    ICYMI, LOLGOP at Eclectablog – How to punish Mitch McConnell:

    […]

    Winning the Senate has to be the priority and focusing on winnable Senate races and state legislatures is almost as crucial as defeating Donald Trump. It’s very difficult to know where to put your hard earned money where it matters most. And the urge is to put it where it feels best.

    I don’t trust my emotions. That’s why I love what Future Now does with its data-driven crusade to win back state houses and then optimize majorities.

    […]

    If you’re fixated on just beating Trump, you’ll never go wrong investing in the Wisconsin Democratic Party’s turnout machine:

    […]

    And if you want to boost turnout everywhere while building up a bench for democracy, backing Run for Something now, when there’s still time to get on ballots most is essential:

    […]

    If you want to punish the man who stopped a bipartisan response to Russian attacks on our democracy to steal a Supreme Court seat and still refuses to properly secure our elections, there’s no better way then to send him back to the Senate with minority to lead. That’s ruthless.

    To do that I recommend adopting a winnable U.S. Senate race. Here are the current ratings, according to the Cook Political Report:

    […]

    You’ll notice there are six seats more vulnerable than McConnell’s. Win those and his misery is your joy.

    Lots of excellent advice there. Click over to see the original links, etc.

    Cheers,
    Scott.
