Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

You cannot shame the shameless.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Let’s finish the job.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

Apparently we needed a pet pic, at least according to the last comments section. So here you go:

twolittlepiggies

Please remember this picture when you see 20 lb Lily next to 22 lb Steve and want to call Steve fat. He’s not fat. He’s massive. He’s magnificent.

    Were you ever able to get Tunch and Lily like that? I remember the first shots of them laying back to back.

    Welcome news:With little fanfare, Iran has taken faster steps than required to comply with an interim nuclear deal that substantially limits its capacity to make a nuclear weapon.
    [snip]
    According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran has completely diluted half its stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium to lower levels. It has also converted more than half the remaining stockpile for use as nuclear fuel – rendering it almost useless for any weapon application.
     
    That means Iran has cut by some 75 percent a stockpile that stood just above 200 kilograms in January. That was already below the 250 kilograms necessary to make a single nuclear device if enriched further to above 90 percent purity. The details of the monthly IAEA update were reported by the Associated Press and Reuters from Vienna, though the report has not yet been made public. Source

    I saw your boy Edward Snowden had a photo op with Putin today after playing sock puppet for him on Russian state television.

    Your photo skills have gone retrograde. Steve is magnificent, but the fuzzy is too fuzzy. Also, too, someone asked if I’d like a new born kitten from a feral cat litter. The idea of a pine tree tail little fuzzikins is strangely appealing.

    I’m sure somebody else has this already, but Gabriel Garcia Marquez straight up died and shit, so let’s all read his most famous story.

    I know you might not all read/listen to what I posted. He ends with a quote from Murrow. Well Edward R Murrow:

    We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men – not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular”

    He was a rock star!

    My young cat Ocean is settling in nice to the new home, relaxing on the bed and enjoying better window views.

    Her kitteh Mal – the one of the litter I kept, the other five were dropped off at the Lakeland SPCA and one (Inara) may already be adopted out – is a furball of energy, attacking every powercord like they’re stringy toys.

    Our longhair Fiona is a good-sized kitty and dwarfs our other shorthair cat, Gracie. Fiona weighs twelve pounds and is a chunk, so I cannot imagine another ten pounds on her.

    But Steve, he’s awesome.

    What’s this he’s-not-fat jibberjabber? My dad had a cat like Steve that was so big he tangled with the raccoons at night. I have a cat now that’s a little overweight but she’s also just big. Two of my cats were over 20 lbs. Sometimes cats are big now that we feed them more nutritious foods and take better care of them.

    I can attest to Steve being massive and magnificent, but he is also a little fat.

    Steve isn’t fat like Tunch was but he is mighty ‘big boned’ if you know what I mean.

    I love you John. I really do. But Steve is overweight. Period. I dare you to get your vet to tell you he is not overweight. I double-cat dare you.

    @Tommy: The pride of my and YellowJournalism’s school, Washington State University. They actually teach real journalism there, but it seems like that doesn’t get you too far this day and age.
