Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too inconsequential to be sued

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Gastritis broke my calculator.

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

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

This is all too absurd to be reality, right?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The willow is too close to the house.

Naturally gregarious and alpha

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Not all heroes wear capes.

What fresh hell is this?

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

We survived Breitbartpocalypse!

This is a big f—–g deal.

Women: they get shit done

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

A group of women progressives who back Elizabeth Warren has formed Persist PAC, a super PAC airing pro-Warren ads starting Wednesday in an effort to boost her performance ahead of the crucial Nevada caucuses, a spokesman has told Axios https://t.co/eFt0o2AUAD

— Axios (@axios) February 19, 2020

#PresidentWarren is trending because despite her being 3rd in delegates, 3rd in most national polls and 2nd in endorsements, the media acts as if she doesn't exist. So her supporters are dealing with this blackout by making sure voters know she's still here and still kicking ass.

— Adam Best (@adamcbest) February 17, 2020

Suggested EW opening line tomorrow night:
“Gracias to Univision for hosting tonight’s debate and thanks to NBC for including me in something.”

— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) February 18, 2020

The Washington Post:

… Warren’s campaign has avoided the sort of leaks, backbiting and recrimination that bedeviled other campaigns during their slumps. Its venting is very public, with the candidate talking more about whether female candidates get underrated and the campaign running ads about the media erasure.

“The night of the Iowa caucuses, CNN didn’t air Elizabeth’s full speech, but they aired the speeches of other candidates she beat,” reads one Warren ad now running on Facebook. “We can’t count on the media to cover our campaign fairly, so we’re taking our case directly to voters.”…

It’s been suggested I should be doing pro-Warren posts every day. I don’t want to overtax the patience of anyone who prefers a different candidate, but here’s a general plea: If you see something about your favorite, send me a link, so I can share it with everybody!

It's one poll question. But the thing that is very clear from this is how much of a flashpoint it was for Warren's supporters, who were furious at what they said was a stark example of how the media has erased her candidacy.https://t.co/Elue4tFR0k

Believe it or not, it gets worse. And Peter Hart has been polling for decades. I think he polled for Polk, for god’s sake. https://t.co/Sqol47HllC

“Economic justice is not — and has never been — sufficient to ensure racial justice. Owning a home won’t stop someone from burning a cross on the front lawn. Admission to a school won’t prevent a beating on the sidewalk outside” https://t.co/4HVNirDb6G

— Reza Aslan (@rezaaslan) February 19, 2020

Ms. Warren currently ranks fourth among the Democratic presidential candidates in mentions on cable news, behind Mr. Sanders, former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Mr. Buttigieg, according to the Internet Archive’s Television News Archive. https://t.co/jWNMn5CjuO

— @JulieZebrak (@JulieZebrak) February 18, 2020

this current Warren moment is about where we were in first 2019 quarter — Sanders looms, $$$ questions, supporter complaints of erasure. Then she used policy to command attn and dictate narrative, now her tools are less clear (whack Bloomberg at debate?)https://t.co/vdUwnAIpaC

Please, MSNBC, get your damn act together. https://t.co/E66hUlRy8w

Remember how the DMR pulled its “gold standard” poll the weekend before the caucuses because some people left off Buttigieg’s name.
Yeah, that was cool.

— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) February 19, 2020

#PresidentWarren is electable if we do the work to elect her. Pass it on. https://t.co/qd92ElqWAF

    Various questions come to my (alleged) mind:

    A) Accidentally, or on purpose?

    B) Over what time period (such as today-only, or the last six months); I want to see if you’re using your time efficiently.

    C) Were they pissed off by the same general comment(s), or did you tailor them to the particular candidate?

    D) No Bloomberg supporters pissed at you? Does that mean you’re going easy on him (or supporting him)?

    It’s not a direct quote, but that seemed to be the gist of the interview I read: he left Warren off the head-to-head questions because he felt like enthusiasm for her had waned, and didn’t realize until he was compiling the results that his feeling was wrong and she was still in third place.

    I am SO glad that this stupidity is getting the attention it deserves. All this “billionaire gets in the race so effective progressive woman essentially disappears from national coverage” was driving me nuts. Either it is the intentional erasing of a candidate the money men are worried about or these people are essentially telling us they don’t have the attention span to cover two women’s campaigns at the same time as four men’s campaigns. Which is it, NBC?

    @Amir Khalid:

    @Sturgeonmouth:

    It seems to me that these days there’s a lot of pessimism being expressed in the threads here. Is it a post-2016 hangover? Is it it dismay at seeing the bad guys run rampant?

    Probably all of that, but I’m the wrong person to ask. I subscribe to the Lily Tomlin philosophy that one can never be too cynical, or too pessimistic, but I do believe in going down swinging.

    @Amir Khalid: My personal pessimism is because we had a great, deep field imo and everyone in my top 10 other than Warren has now dropped out.

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): In the primary, Jennifer Brunner is running for S. Ct. in Ohio. She was the last Dem Sec of State in Ohio.

    She is why we have paper trails in our voting instead of just touch screens.

    Vote for her if you are so inclined. She’ll be good.

    @Another Scott: Right now it is only limited to the 14 people who have sued, but the expectation is it will be expanded to the entire class of the redisenfrachised. Governor DeSantis has already announced he’ll appeal. This is promising, but it is not over.

    @Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): It’s Florida. Eventually he’ll piss off the wrong person and that wrong person will Stand His or Her Ground. And Zimmerman will quickly assume ambient temperature. It is a sad reality, but it is, I expect, his ultimate reality.

    don’t be worried about naysayers who complain of Warren posts everyday.  If more bloggers, media, faceplant posters, twitterers, etc hadn’t been intimidated into not doing Hillary posts everyday – or at best only doing apologetic Hillary post – we wouldn’t be in this position.

    MORE WARREN POSTS!

    @Adam L Silverman: Hers in Florida who stand their ground don’t do as well as the men.  Stand Your ground is a white male privilege sort of law. It only applies to men.

    @Sab: YEA! I am so happy to hear this!  We could have had Brunner as Senator but instead the old dead white men in the state decided Fisher would raise more money?  a woman can’t win?  she’s not old and crotchety enough? she was an amazing SOS for Ohio and kicked Blackwell back to the cave he crawled out of. I’ve always wished she could have gone on to hold office at the national level.

    @Amir Khalid:

    Is it a post-2016 hangover? Is it it dismay at seeing the bad guys run rampant?

    It is weariness and grief — grief for all the people who have already been hurt, grief for all the damage that can never be undone, grief at the knowledge that over a quarter of American voters revel in Trump’s evil.

    I’ve been dealing with a migraine all day, but I wanted to make another donation to SPW before the debate started because I made that promise to myself and her campaign.

    Boy oh boy do I hope she blows some old white guys out of the water tonight. I’m going to try to watch a bit tonight, but I might just end up listening while in a dark room.

    Off to donate while I still can.

    @WaterGirl:Thanks. They are very wholesome ads on my device (Better Business Bureau, Operation Smile, Sen Warren for Pres) but they do block the navigation arrows. But so far the little arrow hanging off the bottom still works to get rid of them.

    Jerzy says that little arrow won’t work forever.
