Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

    White Plains, NY? That’s my hometown…would venture to say that probably means she is at Burke. Used to go there with the marching band to play some tunes and get folks’ spirits up.

    Glad to see your friend is doing better!

    So much depends on the love and care of a significant other in recovery.

    Since February, I have taken care of my wife through first implanting of a pacemaker, then nine weeks ago, full left hip replacement.

    I have done all housework, including laundry, cooking, cleaning, heck, I even did all the windows which you can now see through best in 15 years, and hung all the rescreened screens on the main level of the house. For eight weeks, wife had to use a walker, and needed assistance in every little daily activity one takes for granted if normally mobile. And that is pretty much everything. How do you rub medicine on your feet, for instance, if you can no longer reach your feet?

    Now she is walking with a cane and making good progress. Although last night she made the mistake of getting down on the floor to drop meds in one of the cat’s eye, then had to call me to help her get up. I will leave it to you to guess what famous words she yelled up the stairs to get my attention.

    Taken hard of your loved one is hard, but that is part of what you signed up for.

    And it means everything to the recovery process of the one who is healing.

    @HeartlandLiberal:

    As Helen said, your home projects have been great stress busters with the wonderful feeling of accomplishment with the results. It makes a big difference if your environment is under control and pleasant when the two of you are dealing with the healing process.

    Tell them to go to Sunshine Pizzaria on Mamaroneck Ave and pick up a cheese pie. Best Pizza in White Plains.

    That is really great! Don’t forget – the medical care was the key to her full recovery – the staff, nurses, and MD’s all played a critical role.

    Here is to her continued and rapid full recovery and return home! I and I am sure, all balloon juicers (is that even a word?) are wishing her the very best!
