Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Let me file that under fuck it.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

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

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

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

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

He really is that stupid.

Happy Holidays my ass. What kind of cruel jerk does this to their dog?

You know what that poor guy is thinking= “Thank goodness this only happens once a year.”

Seriously, I’d like to see video to make sure this poor fellow isn’t blinking “HELP ME” in morse code like a prisoner of war. Some people.

    The man who married Putin’s daughter and then made a fortune
    By Jack Stubbs, Andrey Kuzmin, Stephen Grey and Roman Anin

    Filed Dec. 17, 2015, 7:33 p.m. GMT

    The story of Kirill Shamalov, the celebration of his wedding to the Russian president’s younger daughter, and the loan from a politically well-connected bank that helped make him a billionaire

    IGORA, Russia – The wedding party dominated a ski resort nestled in the hills about an hour’s drive north of St. Petersburg. No expense was spared and everyone was sworn to secrecy. The happy couple rode in a traditional Russian sleigh drawn by three white horses, said one of the workers who described the scene to Reuters.

    The bride wore a long pearl-tinted wedding dress, the groom wore a dark overcoat, said another person who attended. The newlyweds were Katerina, younger daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Kirill Shamalov, son of an old friend of Putin.

    Their wedding celebrations took place in February 2013, at Igora, a small ski resort that combines beauty and discretion, five people who were there told Reuters. Set amid woodland with a picturesque lake, the resort is co-owned by the family of Yuri Kovalchuk, another old friend of Putin, and a Cyprus company with undisclosed shareholders.

    …………………………………………………………………..

    At the time of the wedding, Kirill – a tall, dark-haired man with rimless glasses – was a rising star of Russian business, but still only 31. His fortunes began to skyrocket soon after his wedding to the president’s daughter, a competitive acrobatic dancer who is now helping to oversee a $1.7 billion expansion of Moscow State University.

    Within 18 months, Kirill acquired a large chunk of shares in a major Russian oil and petrochemical processor called Sibur – a stake now worth an estimated $2.85 billion, based on the value of recent share deals. He also quit his job as a business manager and set up a company to run his personal investments.

    How did such a young businessman go so far, so fast? A Reuters examination of Shamalov’s career shows that in the summer of 2013, months after he married Putin’s daughter, Kirill opened discussions about buying shares in Sibur from one of the president’s wealthiest friends.

    A year later, he was able to borrow more than $1 billion, judging by the published accounts of his investment company. The loan came from a bank headed by another longtime associate of Putin, and where Shamalov’s brother holds a senior position. The money was used to make an investment in Sibur that within months proved highly profitable for Kirill.

    Did I not see pix of Cole animals in Steeler gear some time ago?
    Too hard to find old posts now (coincidence, I think not) so, I’m not going to get any evidence.
    But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. QED. Case closed. Cole: guilty.

    So Thurston snapped at you when you tried to put antlers on him and now you’re all pissy because Bixby was compliant?

    We have a white lab mutt who wouldn’t mind much if we did this to her. She wouldn’t really like it, but she’s really patient.

    Wooff. Woof!! WOOF!!

    That’s big dog for Merry Xmas, all!!

    @Rashi:
    Bixby does look like he’s figuring out how to get even in the most proper manner. I’m thinking peeing on the couch is not quite enough.

    Ok, maybe it’s the wine, but I laughed so hard at this Bixby barked at me. Good time tonight. Now time for cleanup.

    One of our neighbors showed us pictures of their cats in a Christmas sweater. Cats don’t do costumes and it showed.

    I’m thinking the dog looks very handsome and feels happy to make his people happy. Sort of.
