Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Call the National Guard if your insurrection lasts more than four hours.

Han shot first.

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

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

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

I swear, each month of 2020 will have its own history degree.

This really is a full service blog.

No one could have predicted…

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

Where tasty lettuce and good mustard aren’t elitist.

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

Deploy the moving finger of emphasisity!

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Women: they get shit done

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Too inconsequential to be sued

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Reality always wins in the end.

I personally stopped the public option…

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

GOP Death Cult Open Thread: Knock – Knock – Knocking on Heaven’s Gate

by Anne Laurie|  September 15, 20205:12 pm| 98 Comments

This post is in: GOP Death Cult, How about that weather?, Information As Power, Proud to Be A Democrat

"I don't think science knows." US President Donald Trump has downplayed the impact of climate change on raging west coast wildfires, saying he doesn't think "science knows" and that it "will soon get cooler". Latest: https://t.co/q5Yx0QT2ia pic.twitter.com/t3pFIrinLF — SkyNews (@SkyNews) September 14, 2020 Plenty of aging narcissists have wanted the whole world to die with …

GOP Death Cult Open Thread: Knock – Knock – Knocking on Heaven’s GatePost + Comments (98)

I reject the idea that when the President goes west and says “it will get cooler” with a smirk on his face that we are supposed to be like “well that’s Trump, that rascal.”

— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) September 14, 2020

This type of action increases the risk of injury to everyone at one of these roadblocks. We have had extra deputies patrolling Corbett all day and will through the rest of the weekend. Please report suspicious activity to us and do not take action yourselves.

— Multnomah Co Sheriff (@MultCoSO) September 12, 2020

Let me say this as plainly as possible:

We have become so politically polarized, & consume so much misinformation and fear-mongering from social media, that people are literally defying wildfire evacuation orders because they want to beat up fake looters. https://t.co/CkoOt6jiqa pic.twitter.com/lZcx7J7WuY

To be fair these guys ALSO want to wage war against the Bureau of Land Management. https://t.co/wwMl3C0YnJ

Before a Clackamas County sheriff’s deputy spread unfounded antifa wildfire rumors, a supervisor did — in a public meeting https://t.co/SY3FbeWO4F pic.twitter.com/dBmgEyVhZ2

— The Oregonian (@Oregonian) September 14, 2020

In January, Kate Brown proposed a wildfire management plan that would treat over 300K acres to prevent wildfire, mandate defensible space around homes, and update building codes.

Republicans killed the legislation with their walkout. #orpolhttps://t.co/ZI2a02J7Jn

— Andrew Damitio (@AndrewDamitio) September 11, 2020

Tucker is so skilled at being a white nationalist that he somehow finds a way to make a segment about wildfires & climate change incredibly racist. https://t.co/61rzAyA1PM

— Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) September 12, 2020

Trump comments like these are important for the historical record, because if the science is remotely correct there's going to be a massive effort to retcon this period as "Of course everyone wanted to deal with climate change, the far left just wouldn't agree to a carbon tax" https://t.co/Nvn9JRaYqV

The Beast is apparently holding a victory lap/press conference right now that is spiraling into new heights of craziness. No president has ever been treated so badly, not even those who were shot in the face. Trump has covered the following topics: Comey, Hillary Clinton, Strzok and Page, Pelosi, Jim Jordan’s ears, Scalise’s gunshot wound …
