Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

“But what about the lurkers?”

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

So many bastards, so little time.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

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

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Stand up, dammit!

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Dad has sent me two quick videos of the puppies, who are now really pretty big:

Wild ones.

    Thanks. I needed that after reading about murderous motherfuckers who don’t see there’s a wee bit of a disconnect between thinking every life is precious and gunning people down.

    Thank you, John. And pass my thanks to your dad for providing the one bit of relief from the despair and hate I’m feeling today. I’m completely overwrought and the doggies are so cute, they brought a tear or two to my eyes.

    after the video there was suggested video of watching two horny male exchange students engaging in rough play. I decided not to see that.

    No longer puppies but somehow, even more adorable than ever. Also nice to get the final word on the “Guesly” pronunciation from your pops, John!

    nothing will ever top that video of them running back and forth across the sofas while your father vacuums; and then horrifyingly sees them.

    Oh. My. God!

    that still cracks me up.

    they are way too cute, and i don’t know how your folks deal with their energy. good thing they’ve got that beautiful yard….

    They’re small-dog cute as can be. Gus is bigger but he knows Ginny is queen bee and she will not be out wrestled.

    Awww, they’re adorable. And so big! Can’t believe how much they’ve grown.

    They’re pretty obedient. They came running right up when called and then stood around waiting for the next command. Have they gone to puppy school? Or are they just afraid your dad is going to bring out the vacuum cleaner, so they step up when he calls?

    @Cain:

    When I watched the roughplay video, the first suggested video after the pups was Pamela Anderson. Can’t get away.

    Cute pups. In the first video, how long did they stand there until they realized that dad Cole called them over for no reason whatsoever. No treats, no pats, no nuthin’.

    The second clip reminds of a Steelers game. Rough rough. ; )

    Btw, I am happy to report we have found no more mice, dead or alive. I think the cats are (somewhat) disappointed, but I am not.

    Just curious: anyone ever see a dog capture a mouse? (Squirrels yes, but mice…. I’m thinking not so much.)

    I thank you and your folks so much for sharing the progress of Ginny and Guesly. For over 10 years we had three wonderful doggies (one a beagle-Jack Russell mix. Imagine THAT kind of cuteness.)
    They are gone now and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate being able to see these pups, and hear all the doggy sounds and see them thinking and going all out being DOGS! It helps fill such a hole in our lives. We can’t have any more doggies just now. Thank you. I watch the dogs-on-sofas video at least once a week. It lifts me up, especially reminded of the Oh God reality of having having had these bundles of energy in my life.

    Yeah, my shepherd-chow mix moused once when the cats couldn’t be bothered to do their fucking job. He caught it up in his mouth, trotted out back and let it go.

    Quite the bundles of energy, aren’t they? Too adorable.

    And I’ll echo the comments on your parents’ yard — it’s absolutely gorgeous.

    Yeah, that brought a much-needed smile to my face. Now, a video of Tunch being awesome without even moving his hind legs would really clinch it.

    They are adorable. Thanks for sharing them.

    Makes me wonder why we did not get two of Tiki. He has worn me ragged and gasping for relief.

    Add my thanks to your dad, John, for this much-needed respite. Guisley’s really a camera hog, ain’t he? And I love their fluffly little ‘terrier handles’ — I can totally see trying to grab one of those stubby tails to separate the Whirling Demons of Terrier Death!
