Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Second rate reporter says what?

Hot air and ill-informed banter

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

In my day, never was longer.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

Let’s finish the job.

You cannot shame the shameless.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

    I always root for the critters in these situations. One day, this attitude will get my hand chewed off.

    Just to follow up on NotMax’s non-sequitur, it was March 5 and 0 degrees in Chicagoland this morning. Record-nearing.

    @John O: It’s about 73F here at 10:20pm in Ka’anapali, HI.

    That lion’s face, looming up in the corner of the window just before she opens the door, that gave me goosebumps.

    I’d put outside temps in low 50’s, maybe high 40’s in Athens. Cold drizzly rain is back. It was like Spring! Wed afternoon. Downhill since.

    It’s 12 F in NYC right now (0611). Too cold.

    I can hear the maintenance staff clearing sidewalks in the development. They had cleaned snow yesterday but with snow falling into the night, they stopped cleaning at some point to leave it for this morning.

    Animals have so much more intelligence than most people realize. I read “The Tiger” a few years ago and the stories of the people who met up with them was terrifying.

    Impressed with that family. Not a single f-bomb, and not shrill when hysterical either.

    Impressed with the lioness. She can wait. Some other human will leave a door unlocked. Although, it will be her life that pays.

    I once saw a wildlife show on the teevee where a cheetah decided to have some fun with the human tourists. She got on top of their truck, swung her butt over the sun roof, and took a dump on them.

    Sigh, its been a beautiful week in north Florida in the 80’s where it belongs but new cold front coming in and its colder now than this morning…in the 50’s and going down. I wanted to garden this weekend. Pollen is already bad. dogwoods should be pretty this weekend.

    Here in Oregon, frosty in the morning and sunny and 60s in the afternoon. We should be seeing gray, dreary skies and lots of rain. The woods will be a tinderbox this summer if this keeps up. They say every few hundred years we get a massive fire that scours the mountains clean of any vegetation. I’m getting worried.

    Almost every cat I’ve ever had and more than half the dogs figured out how to open the house doors within a few weeks.

    The lions have obviously figured out that your car is a big can of cat food.
