Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Their shamelessness is their super power.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

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

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

    We had a cat sitter come in to feed the kitties and scoop their poops while we were on vacation, and they seem a little put out that the nice lady isn’t coming by anymore to give them wet food and work the feather toy during the day.

    Lots of rallies in support of Mike Brown around the country. Here’s one in front of CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta:

    Seen today in redder-than-red, very upscale Peachtree City, Georgia: Late model Porsche with a Michelle Nunn bumper sticker. Gave me something to smile about on an otherwise depressing day.

    Well, with one month left on my two-year contract with AT&T, I had to pay an early termination fee to get them to unlock my iPhone so that I can drop a local SIM into it while I am in the UK at the beginning of next month. I’m not changing US carriers, so a waiver would have been nice. But they’re probably mad at me for finally taking the time to wade through their available service offerings and finding the one that increases the data allowance for our three phones and one tablet while reducing the monthly charge by about 60 percent.

    It’s tempting to say that I’ve bought my last subsidized phone, but I’m not saying that until I see the pricing of the iPhone 6.

    Ya win a few, ya lose a few. At least I don’t have to buy a new phone for the kid. iPhone prices in the UK are almost the same amount of pounds as the price of the corresponding model in dollars in the US (ouch!).

    The only things that are relative bargains are products from UK manufacturers, and even then only if you get the VAT refunded.

    @Gin & Tonic: Not all things are. Family member was coming here earlier this year and looked into buying a Kindle while here. It was cheaper but we decided it might be kind of a pain due to the way the accounts work. She’s older and getting it re-set once she returned to the UK was going to be a potential problem. So she just got one before she left, got it set up there and it worked fine here. Cost a bit more but the amount of hassle saved made it worth it.

    Question:
    I have Amazon Prime. If I buy a movie from their streaming can I play it on
    Any of my devices, just as long as I sign in as myself, or is the purchase device-specific?

    We had a road trip home with the dog today, too. I’m starting to think, after three trips with her, I may have to ask the vet about a sedative. I can’t handle the nonstop weeping. The only thing that will make her stop (briefly) is the preschooler letting her lick his Cheetos-dust-covered fingers and I don’t know that that is an ideal solution for either of them.

    @Nicole: Wow, that must be a pain. Can you do some cognitive behavior therapy with the dog–like take the dog for short trips and the dog gets a treat in the car so the dog associates car with treats? Just something short like around the block. Then work up to longer trips. Might take some work but maybe worth it?

    @AliceBlue:

    The gods they know I am no big fan of Zell Miller. But it was a brilliant political move in this state to get him to endorse Michelle Nunn. A lot of people who might otherwise be reluctant to pull the lever for a D will do so because ole Zell says it’s okay.

    @raven:

    Raven, Raven, Raven. Do not let the perfect get in the way of the doable. See my #35. I loathe Zell, but dammit, if he can influence a significant portion of the Georgia electorate to cast their ballots for the Democratic candidate instead of the Republican, I welcome him on board. Do you want a Dem majority in the Senate next Congress, or no?
