Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Second rate reporter says what?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

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

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

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

He really is that stupid.

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Been a long weekend, and I’ll go into it more in a later date. Here’s Thurston, and you can really see the blue heeler markings starting to come in. Lovey was being fussy and I didn’t get a good picture.

Don’t forget, first episode of Better Call Saul is on tonight.

    He’s so cute. I hope everything is ok on your end and will assume that you haven’t injured yourself in any way.

    My friends had a DNA test done on the stray they found while on vacation this fall. I think just for the fun of it.Now we’re all trying to figure out who breeds basenjis and bulldogs in Arkansas. That seems to be one half of the parentage, the other half is beagle/long haired dachshund.

    Cute! Thank you, John!

    Thurston would be good for big-dog people with a big yard. I believe he’ll need galloping room.

    DAMN. That puppy is just a dolly. I want, but I also cannot handle the chaos of another animal in my house right now. But I always want to adopt all the animals and give them hugs and get puppy kisses and kitten nibbles.

    Last weekend, Spawn the Younger got sick. This weekend, it’s Spawn the Elder’s turn. Ugh. This is ridiculous.
