Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

When we show up, we win.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

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

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

This fight is for everything.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

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

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

In after Baud. Damn.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Experts agree that the most important habit of effective people is to start off the week with the right attitude.

Goofball

#2: when you have a task, do it right or stay home.

Missing the forest for the ball

Believe it or not, somewhere in that mess he’s holding a ball.

Even though this thread is awesomer, I re-timestamped it to un-step on John’s more informative post.

    Went to work today largely because there is electricity there, which means coffee and Internet access. Absolutely no idea how long the power will be out at home. But otherwise no significant damage.

    @Punchy: The “kids”, now in their twenties, actually got a lawyer to file the case, take it to court and then to appellate court. I hope he or she gets run over by the next ambulance they chase.

    Last week we bought a little squeaky toy in the shape of a hedgehog and gave it directly to the youngest of the four dogs, Beauregard (golden retriever). “Heggie” is now HIS and he becomes extremely protective if one of the other three dares go near it.

    Always up for a Max photo. Doggy prozac.

    Am seeing more brown Dobermans now that I’m thinking of Max and looking for them.

    Bulldogs and pugs too, after a “Beautiful Bulldog” contest earlier this year.

    They be everywhere.
