Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Trump should be leading, not lying.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

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

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Let there be snark.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

    Ohhhhhh! That face! Love the one on your website in the car. Awww…. And next to Bixby…hilarious. Scout looks like a tiny little toy. I hope Bixby is head over heels.

    So cute. The little white paws. The giant size difference. Bixby so excited and yet so calm. Congratulations.

    She’s adorable. I trust there will be plenty of pictures and stories so we can all squee over Scout.

    Tired puppeh. First day in a new home, so many smells, plus that giant guy sniffing at her. Must be exhausting.

    Thanks for sharing Scout’s homecoming with us. I hope she gladdens your and Bixby’s heart: not a replacement of Bailey (who cannot be replaced) but a fine successor.

    @Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): You posted something yesterday that I at first thought was just weird twitter, and I wrote a good reply. And then I was afraid that what I wrote was just a rephrasing of what you said and my current mental state was making the obvious into a joke, or vice versa.

    But Prince Albert really was full of shit.

    Too, too adorable! I especially enjoy the photos of Bixby and Scout together. I hope she’s all he’d hoped for!

    Congratulations on such cuteness finding a wonderful new home with you. I’m off to bed myself, but thought I’d share the weather at the Mount Washington observatory in NH (summit 6288′), 12:32 AM Jan. 5. Temperature -8 F., wind 93 mph, gust 101 mph, wind chill -51F. (Mountwashington.org)

    I have a Scout, too. Great cat, great dog, great name.

    When she’s being sweet, she’s addressed as Jean-Louise. When she’s being a little shit, I have been known to sing “Scout, Scout, get the fuck out, you are the cat I can do without, come on, I’m talking to you, come on”.

    I know it’s the way of all critters leaving the litter, but I see a bit of grief and solitaryness in Scout’s face as she heads to her forever home, not knowing what lies before her – not knowing that Bixby was waiting for her. And even with the comfort of Bixby, she’s still a sleepy little puppo who misses her momma and littermates. Soon to be forgotten, but still – it’s her first foray into big dog-hood.

    TaMara: welcome to Scout. What fun lies ahead. You had “The Bixby Diaries.” Now for the “Chronicles of Scout”, or whatever you choose to name it …

    @Suzanne: Love your Scout song. Singing to pets is the best.

    @David ??Merry Christmas?? Koch: If someone is making book (literally) off the #Resist sentiment, kind of sorry it’s Michael Wolff, who seems to be a bit of a dick. Although, better him than a Maggie Haberman NYTimes stenographer, or other Villager.

    Haven’t gotten through the Wolff excerpts, because it makes me sad that so many would not support a well qualified woman over someone who was notably not fit for the job. At all. Whole thing has been a tragedy. May it destroy the GOP, though, and wake people up about how cracked some of their fellow Americans have become. (I blame Fox News/rightwing fantasy land for a lot of this. May be hard to deprogram.)

    The pupdates are appreciated; please persist through the weekend.

    Just to remind me of how much work would be involved in getting our 9.5yo Dane a puppy. I’ve been tempted this week.

    @Elizabelle:
    If the Wolff book helps to grow public disaffection with Trump’s wretched presidency and Republican misrule in general, I’m all for it.

    What a cute puppeh. Scout looks so big looking over the shoulder, and so tiny sleeping beside Bixby.

    Awwww! Scout is adorable. Can’t wait to see more pics. Look forward to seeing Bixby help raise her, and their ad/mis adventures together.

    Love the puppy’s markings. How old is Scout and how big do you think he will be when full grown?

    Five years ago our older dog was very lonesome for her partner who had passed away at 13. We got a puppy a few months later and she was so happy to have a doggy pal again. She took on a protective maternal role, ok, this is my baby, making sure she was between the puppy and any other dogs trying to play with her. Later on when our dogs were at kennel while we were on vacation, the kennel owner, a dog whisperer, told us she had to have a talk with our older dog because she wouldn’t let her pal play with the other dogs there and the talk worked.

    @bemused: oh, that sounds like the StellaLuna Chronicles. My big dog Stella was a rescue, and quite clearly saw guarding me as Her Job. Which was cool for a while, but her energies were better expended on Luna Puppy. Stella became her guardian, her auntie, and chew toy. It was a beautiful thing to behold.
