Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

The lights are all blinking red.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

    @greynoldsct00:

    Actually, no, that’s a nickname that comes from the fact I have long legs and arms and sometimes sit strangely at the computer desk.

    I’ve got parrots.

    Any pet is fine, and I can resize pics that are too big.

    And yes, use the name you use in the comments. No on will know who the hell you are if you use your real name.

    If anyone is looking for the best cat comb to rid your cat of loose fur get a FURminator. It is the best comb/brush I’ve ever used.

    My sister has one, and swears by it. By the time she’s done, you could build a new pet out of the fur it gets out.

    What is my daily limit, John?
    I’ve got 5 fur kids (well, 6 if I include photos of Walter Kitty, RIP).
    And 987,065,987 photos.
    Of each.
    ?
    A big ol’ Sarah shout out on the Furminator. One of my very long-haired cats is apparently 99% undercoat. When I use it on her in the summer she’s nearly bald. Can use on dawgs too.
