Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

When I was faster i was always behind.

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

Innocent people do not delay justice.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Everybody saw this coming.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

I’m off for computer repairs so I thought I would leave this for you in case you get tired of talking about Flynn:

That’s the “I’m not moving, I’m pretty firm about this, and really there is nothing you can do about it even if you wanted to” face. And to be honest, what kind of monster would make her move?

    My ginger derp cat does the same thing in my bed. Sadly I have to move him to lay down, but he jist cuddles up next to me and goes back to sleep.

    He may be dumber then a bag of hammers but he’s the most affectionate cat I’ve ever known.

    She always reminds me of my grandparent’s dog from when I was a kid, Taja. Exact same coloring and rough breed mix, although Taj was about half Lily’s size. Sweet, if slightly neurotic little girl.

    I don’t make ’em move, I just sit real close if they’re where I want to sit. If they want to snuggle, fine. If they feel like they have to leave in a huff, not my problem.

    We had an active 60-pound yearling puppy visiting us with the crowds at Thanksgiving, and that has escalated my longing to have a dog in the house again. But I’m still determined to wait till the 16+ – year – old cat is gone. She doesn’t need that kind of stress.

    Cole has nonmatching sox, and another pair in his closet just like Harry Truman did.

    I’m assuming there are at least two words that could get her up: “walk” and “treat.”

    THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 11/30/17
    Treasury Secretary Mnuchin fails to deliver promised tax report
    Rachel Maddow shows Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s repeated claims that he had a hundred experts working on an assessment of the Republican tax bill, only to deliver nothing in time for the vote because reportedly there is nothing to deliver, no report was done.

    Per Drum and Corn, Republicans tried to suppress a Joint Committee analysis that shows the bill raises taxes for most Americans, but it leaked.

    I can get in touch with my inner monster quite easily when faced with an animal smaller than me.
