Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

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

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

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

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

The house always wins.

This blog goes to 11…

What fresh hell is this?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Shocking, but not surprising

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

No one could have predicted…

Screw the Judean People’s Front. Splitters.

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Naturally gregarious and alpha

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

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

Dinky Hocker shoots smack!

The Presumptive Nominee Speaks on Coronavirus

Vice President Biden, who will be the Democratic nominee when Sanders either drops out or loses on the first convention ballot, delivered remarks on the novel coronavirus this morning. It was lost in the shuffle, but here it is for you all to watch!

You can watch it in this tweet:

I’m about to deliver remarks on the Coronavirus pandemic. Tune in to watch live: https://t.co/HpaqlEb7D1

— Joe Biden (Text Join to 30330) (@JoeBiden) March 23, 2020

If that doesn’t work for you, you can watch it here. (The first couple of minutes is the splash screen, so skip ahead.)

Biden also issued a statement on the ACA lawsuit.

UPDATE: He will also be on The View in the morning to talk about it.

TOMORROW: Democratic presidential candidate and former vice president @JoeBiden joins us LIVE via satellite to discuss the latest on the coronavirus pandemic, how he thinks Pres. Trump is handling it, and what’s next for his campaign amid the national crisis. pic.twitter.com/xsC0E0B6Hr

    Thanks for posting this M4. Maybe you could repost it later as it’s being lost by DougJ’s post at the exact same time and WaterGirl’s post 10 minutes later.

    I’m feeling super aggravated right now so am going to walk away instead of sharing my irritability!

    P.S. How does this front page posting work, anyway? Is there any communication between you front pagers before you post?

    @Baud:

    I wonder if there is a way to impress upon the Biden campaign to not shedule this when Cuomo is speaking? What’s your opinion?

    “Ended 3 hours ago” – & because it was “live” there is no longer access through either link.

    If anyone could post a link to a version that can be viewed now, after the fact…?

    @pamelabrown53: It has to be done early enough to make the news day.  I’m not sure what a good time would be with everything going on the world, but it can’t be easy.  I hope this won’t be a daily thing like Cuomo is.

    @Uncle Cosmo: It works for me, but the first couple of minutes is the splash screen while they get the A/V in place, so you have to skip forward.

    But left twitter and facebook says that Biden was being hidden because he was senile, sick or dead!

    Good to see Biden’s starting to get more visible. It may actually be to his advantage that he let Trump be the main public voice on this for a week or two before raising his own profile – now Biden can say he’s doing this because the President clearly isn’t providing leadership, is making poor decisions, and can’t keep his fucking head on straight during even scripted press briefings. He’s actively hurting Americans, so Biden is stepping up.

    @MisterForkbeard: It’s fine, his campaign is being very careful not to misstep, perhaps he could’ve been a little more out there last week (though he was doing conference calls and other normal things), but nobody is going to remember what Joe Biden was doing last week when they go to the polls.

    @pamelabrown53: Nope, there’s no easy way to coordinate. You can usually see if someone is working on a post in the back room or that someone has a scheduled post, so if I’m writing one that will flatten someone else’s, I’ll usually save it as a draft and post mine later unless it’s super timely.

    But people schedule posts at various times, and you can’t always tell when a scheduled post is due to publish or if someone else is working on a post (if you’re on mobile, for example). It is kind of haphazard. Not sure we can do anything about it without an even worse outcome (i.e., more work for us volunteers).

    @Betty Cracker: I agree, though I’ll point out that it’s an accurate recording of the livestream, and this happens with a lot of campaign videos. Hopefully they offer an edited version.

    @Betty Cracker:

    Thanks for such a detailed answer. I’ll try to be more patient in the future. After all, you and the other front pagers give so much of value to the BJ community.

    @pamelabrown53: No worries! It’s annoying sometimes when there’s no posts for hours and then three in five minutes. I wish there were an easy fix.

    @Major Major Major Major: I’m kind of worried we’ll end up with a Hillary problem – when Biden’s out addressing a thing, the media just doesn’t cover it, and then the media asks “Why isn’t Biden addressing the thing?”

    But you’re right, it’s not likely to matter a whole lot except insofar as people see whether Biden is trying to step up or hide away.

    @MisterForkbeard:

    Places like this website and twitter putting it out there addresses it to a degree and with a lot of people being home because we need to be and shit for brains isn’t doing anything positive I’d bet more people are and will be paying attention. The internet has been extremely crappy this morning, the VA-vet website was down all morning and a lot of things have been slow. My normal speedtest site was even down. I’d bet it was a server issue as speed is back to normal now.
