Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Books are my comfort food!

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

So She is an Angel But a Touch Clingy

Yuki is an absolute princess and I love everything about her, but she is a touch needy. She has been surgically attached to me all day, and she must have some part of her body touching me at all points:

Here she is helping your fat host surf the internet:

Whoever gets this dog is hitting the jackpot. She does snore like a jetplane with asthma, though, and it appears that chicken nuggets give her the farts. But other than that, she is perfect.

    She’s been through a lot of changes in a short time. When she feels more settled she may not be as clingy. They never really understand why they get shifted to so many homes, or why people they loved and relied on abandoned them.

    There was a commenter in the previous thread who expressed some interest, but I can’t remember if it was Chris or chris. ?

    Are out of area adoptions allowed? I think that became an issue with your sister’s rescue group once before.

    Are you using an automated block list on Twitter? I can’t read your tweets (and John Cusacks) despite never tweeting @ you. Kinda strange. Thought you should know.

    Snoring dog? we’ve got one. Our GSD snores like your fat drunk Uncle after Two for One Night. It’s been cold up in the canyon and we never turn on the heat upstairs, last night Mrs J took a warm beach towel out of the dryer and draped it over him while he was on his doggie bed. I went in my bathroom washed up, brushed my teeth, came back and got into bed. He was snoring so loud we both started laughing. He stopped, gave me a shitty look, snuggled back under his warm beach towel and was snoring again in seconds. I woke up at 3 to take a leak, he had somehow rolled over under the towel and was still cranking it at 11. We made fun of him all morning, he didn’t give a shit.

    I saw you were going to check on them this morning, and since (I think) we’re at a similar latitude, it’s been SO cold. I’ve been thinking about them all day. :)

    On the local news, there was an 8 hour flight from LAX to…LAX. An ANA flight from LAX to Tokyo was rerouted 4 hours into it’s flight due to an un-ticketed passenger(he had a United ticket). ANA has said it it sorry.

    Our younger cocker Chico is also a needy little soul. When he’s not lying on his back in my chair with me receiving belly rubs, he lies at my feet with his back pressed against one of my feet at all times. When I get up to go into another room he immediately jumps to his feet and is ready to follow me wherever I go. He’s a rescue dog, so we don’t know his story, but there was abandonment at some point.

    @John Cole: Hell, I’d hide if that big bastard ever came into a room I was in.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: Saw that, Chrissy Teigen was on that flight. The flight path on Flight Aware is bizarre. Friend of mine (who usually has good info) says that there is more to the story.

  31. 31.

    ?BillinGlendaleCA

    December 27, 2017 at 3:02 am

    @eclare: Yup, Chrissy and her husband John Legend were on the flight. It does seem odd that they’d turn a plane full of paying passengers around due to a ticketing problem for one passenger. Maybe he became disruptive(though I think there’d be a closer airport than LAX since they fly the polar route to northern Asia, I’ve flown LAX to Tokyo).

  32. 32.

    eclare

    December 27, 2017 at 3:08 am

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: If you go to Flight Aware and put the flight number in (ANA175), you can see the path. It wasn’t hugging the coast like flights to Europe (never flown across the Pacific so I don’t know what is normal).

    ETA> Seems like it could have diverted to Anchorage, though.

  33. 33.

    ?BillinGlendaleCA

    December 27, 2017 at 3:16 am

    @eclare: They usually stay pretty close to the coast until they get to San Francisco and then head northwest, I agree that diverting to ANC or SEA would have made more sense than returning to LAX.

    ETA: I’ve flown LAX to Tokyo once and LAX to Seoul twice.

    December 27, 2017 at 3:20 am

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: All Nippon Airways flight 175 arrived back in Los Angeles around 7:30 p.m. It wasn’t clear why the plane turned around, said Lt. Adonis Cutchlow of the Los Angeles Airport Police.

  35. 35.

    ?BillinGlendaleCA

    December 27, 2017 at 4:23 am

    @eclare: You’d think if the un-ticketed passenger had been disruptive, the Airport Police would have known about it. I blame Trump.

    John, you already love this dog. It will break both your hearts if you give her up. Unsolicited advice from an old lady: Never turn away true love when you’re lucky enough to find it.

    @sigyn: I had gone to bed. So far no cats staying at the shelters other than to eat, I think. I saw tracks in and out of the shed, and I see them going into the one on the porch, but that’s too big to stay warm in, even with insulation and a fleece blanket. I need to go to a home store today and get a foil covered insulation board to remake the porch shelter. And a new heated outdoor bed will be delivered tomorrow.

    I love John’s special adoptions. Look, he’s good at this sort of thing. And from our side we can say someone needs to adopt this awesome dog because otherwise John is going to end up over-run with about 20 incredible dogs living with him.

    @Stardus614: He’s already got 3 dogs. It’s been my experience that when you get to 4 dogs they become more a pack and less children.
