Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

This really is a full service blog.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This blog goes to 11…

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

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

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

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Han shot first.

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

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

This is a big f—–g deal.

What fresh hell is this?

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Peaceful demonstrations are starting. There are a lot of military in DC and more on the way. Let’s hope it remains peaceful.

Absolutely massive street protest heads back towards the White House, demanding #JusticeNow This video doesn’t capture the size- it took at least 5 minutes to pass picking up folks all the way. #WeNeedChange #DCProtests #Peacefulprotest #BlackLivesMattter @PoPville @cmclymer pic.twitter.com/414jEoYf66

#NOW: Hundreds are taking a knee and chanting near the White House for a fifth day of protests over George Floyd’s death, back even after two days of escalating force from police. This might be the most people I’ve seen gather this early in the evening. pic.twitter.com/NvB6gaUTL2

As good a time as any to note, again, that DC is a historically black city of 700,000 people — more people than Wyoming — who pay taxes, have been denied the rights granted to states, and because of that have no ability to stop federal law enforcement from occupying the city.

Just interviewed @ewarren who came down to see the protest outside the White House- she’s getting cheers. She told me she came here because she had an obligation to bear witness to this moment pic.twitter.com/nkWenYJy8b

Also: 700 members of the 82nd are at Joint Base Andrews and Fort Belvoir. 1,400 more soldiers are ready to be mobilized within an hour. Soldiers are armed and have riot gear. They also were issued bayonets—standard issue but some feel could be inflammatory https://t.co/Ieo86bc4yF

Other cities too

Wow. Huge rally in Paris #France today paying homage to #GeorgeFloyd & Adama Traore who died in French police custody in 2016.

Rally itself defied a police ban:

Don’t let anyone tell you the people behind the protestors are agitators and looters. I have seen every walk of life marching peacefully on the streets of #Philadelphia and they are the ones demanding genuine change. pic.twitter.com/CPqdgcRCEk

Group we were following is now back at Balboa Park. This is what a peaceful rally looks like….organizers urging people to say something if they see anyone causing trouble (violence,vandalism,etc.) @CBS8 @News8 @thecwsandiego pic.twitter.com/smGM1DLSwO

Looks like they started earlier today. It’s the day that Republican Senators tie themselves to Donald Trump’s corruption for the rest of time.
