Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

“But what about the lurkers?”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

What A Mess

Went out and bought Tunch some Science Diet Light and some catnip, and I put the catfood away and forgot about the catnip, which I left in the bag on the couch.

Ten minutes later, I found one stoned cat (I can almost hear him purring from another room) rolling in a mountainous pile of catnip, which is now everywhere in the living room, as well as a much shredded bag.

    I’ve done something similar before, although, to my credit, the catnip was in a Gladware container. Didn’t matter, the little bugger knocked it to the floor, lid came off, and I had one drugged out kitty.

    My big cat chewed through the plastic container, and proceeded to deal it out to the other kitties. Stoners.

    I should have tried catnip while I owned the evil and notorious Bart–it might have saved me some urine-soaked walls, shredded furniture, and the occasional punctured leg when he decided to leap on me from ambush while my hands were full.

    Then again, he would have been less fun that way. :-)
