Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

T R E 4 5 O N

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

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

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

President Obama campaigned hard (and personally) in the very important swing states, and lost.The voters wanted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Trump is obsessed with Barack for two days now, mainly because he knows he'd lose to him. LMAO.

    In my dream fantasy, President Obama trolls Trump so hard that Trump assigns a special prosecutor to go after him for the birth certificate nonsense, and public opinion shifts dramatically against him, leading to his impeachment.

    When he won’t office, the Congressional Sergeant-at-arms has to drag him out of the White House, handcuffed and screaming like a lunatic. His tiny hands slip through the cuffs and he runs away like a common criminal, all on live TV.

    Now that there’s a fresh thread, I can tell you all my happy Holiday story…

    Around December 1, Grand-mere divF (Madame divF’s mother), was taken to the hospital in an ambulance due to respiratory distress. This quickly evolved into a serious heart arrhythmia, which took some time to get under control. After about 10 days, Grand-mere said, enough, she was dying, and wanted to do so at home. So she went on hospice, was moved home with 24-hour home health care aides, and started saying her goodbyes to her family and friends. She was very weak, bed-bound and sleeping 22 hours / day. Madame divF is a geriatrics and hospice physician who was going to make sure that her mother was going to get the best possible care consistent with the latter’s wishes; she has been with her from the start. Fortunately, the whole family lives in the greater Bay Area, so everyone was available to help out and be there.

    However, last Friday morning, Grand-mere woke up and was feeling much better, alert and awake. She started staying awake most of the day, eating regularly, and back to her very sociable self (Grand-mere is 88 and had been living on her own and very active up until this last event). Madame, seeing the change, confirmed with Grand-mere that it looked like she wasn’t quite ready to leave us yet, and they started on a program of physical therapy. Today was the first big milestone, which was Grand-mere getting out of bed and sitting in a chair for 30 min.

    She is far from being out of the woods, though. She is still bed-bound, the extent of the damage to her heart is unknown, as is the extent of any further damage to her lungs – either could do her in. But for the moment, Grand-mere is back with us, optimistic and in full command of her faculties. We got lucky, but Madame divF’s expertise as a physician has enabled her to take the best advantage of the luck (you’ll have to take my word on this – the details are really TMI). Also, the home health aides – a pair of middle-aged Fijian women – have been real champs.

    Sounds like people who want to host such parties should be proactive and ask their friendly neighborhood fire marshal if he can stop by and point out any potential issues. Most fire departments are happy to perform such services and the hosts might find out a few safety tips into the bargain.

    Plus having the fire marshal inspect first will help in case someone does decide to be an asshole and call when the party happens.

    The thing that always amuses me about cats is that they get into their own routines and get annoyed if those routines are interrupted. I’m sitting on a specific side of the couch and Keaton is sitting on the arm waiting for me to get up because I’m sitting in the spot where he likes to nap this time of night. Normally, I would already be heading for bed, but since I’m off work this week, I’m still in the living room.

    I want lots and lots of video of both Obamas and both Clintons laughing out loud. As Al Franken has noted, there is no evidence that DT ever laughs. He smirks, he grins, he bares his teeth, but try to find video of him actually laughing … doesn’t seem to exist.

    Isn’t that weird?

    Anyway, those of us not charged with important political or military tasks would do ourselves and the world a favor if we find plenty of opportunities to crack up at the sheer absurdity of a DT presidency. I suspect he’ll hate it, just like at that infamous Correspondents Dinner when Obama let him have it and the room was tickled to death.

However when it’s your own parent, and that is what you do for a living, fear and experience will tend to supercede hope, even when that is possible.

    One of those floppy eared cats that are especially popular in Japan – they just look confused.

    My little old Tux seems to be waning again – literally so – she’s getting awfully scrawny with limited appetite this week. I’m away in a couple of weeks for me Pa’s wedding, so I am a bit concerned. Landlord who lives in adjacent residence will look after her, but I think I’ll have to advise him that if she doesn’t survive (she’s 21), just roll her into a towel and pop her in the freezer, and I’ll deal with her when I return. But she’s rallied more than once before, and might do so again.

    The hard part of having these wonderful companions of many long years is that we just get used to having each other around, and I’d rather be here when she passes/facilitate that with some ease.

    Obama has any number of avenues open to him to help the US deal with the oncoming Trumpian onslaught, and with a current approval rating of 57% (Gallup), he has many millions of fellow Americans who would welcome his efforts.

    I’d go plain tiger-tabby, the Default Cat Color (inherited from their wild ancestors). If you want his circumstances to change, you can always have his stripes change, subtly or not.

    Anecdote are not data, but every orange tabby I’ve known (including my current housemate Rocket) has been more than a bit of a pirate — and at least a little off-center.

    To be fair, the only brown tabby I’ve ever lived with was a BOGO — the shelter wouldn’t let us take the cute blue-cream feral kitten we wanted unless we took her plain-vanilla sibling as well. Toby turned out to be a girl too, despite the “male” note on her intake records, and always a little bit nerd-awkward, for every day of her almost 18 years with us. (Her sister Isis was irresistibly feminine and very not-human-oriented; Toby was like an angry high-schooler cross-dressing out of insecurity.) Her coat also, very slowly, turned from ‘tabby’ to ‘torby’ — sometime around her tenth birthday, she developed a tortoiseshell black-and-orange ‘blanket’ that gradually usurped the stripes on her body, tail, and the top of her head. BECAUSE SHE COULD, OKAY???

Trump is older that Reagan when Reagan took office and as we have seen over the last year people just start dying in their 70s.

He spoke the truth, he would have knocked the crap out of him, the funny thing is that many of the purity trolls who ‘couldn’t’ bring themselves to vote for Hillary because she was too close to the banks, TPP, and her failure in Benghazi, would have had no problem voting for Obama, who as the president actually bailed out those banks, and ‘refused’ to prosecute anyone*. Obama is simply more likeable, and charismatic than she is, and that would have made the difference in the places that mattered, and you cannot fault a person for a lack of charisma, the likeability I blame on the media for harping in every single darn story, whether positive or negative, that she was just not likable or trustworthy. It was a constant drumbeat into the voters till they absorbed the fact that they didn’t like or trust her, when asked why, they said they just didn’t, mission accomplished GOPmedia.

    * I know that most of what the banks was legal, their lobbyists made sure of that when they wrote the laws. One can quibble about fraud, but when it is written into the law that you don’t have an obligation to do what is best for your client, but instead what is most profitable for the shareholders, (including yourself), then there is not a lot available for you to be prosecuted for. For those who scoff at that, answer me this, don’t you think there are hot shot ambitious prosecutors who would have loved to go after the bankers to make a name for themselves? I’m looking at both Schniederman and Preet Bharara.
