Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

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

In my day, never was longer.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Let me file that under fuck it.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Open Thread: Now For Something Completely Different

Okay, Facebook gave me my laugh of the day. I posted this link and the preview to it on my FB page and FB removed it:

I Think Gabe Misses Bixby

I have moved the actual photo below the fold, because, you know, it’s clearly sensitive.

Bixby is beat from a very long week of partying. Everybody loves the Bixby. I think Gabe missed him. Actually, you can’t see it, but Gabe also has his foot resting on my foot.

And can I tell you how charming it is to have the ducks run to the back door to greet me when I got home? I think they missed me. <3

Clearly, my cooking blog is x-rated.

Open thread

ETA: I requested a review and they banned it again.

    No, its only an ethics investigation.

    The Department of Just us Republicans has seen no need to bring criminal charges into this.

    I just had to delete several photos from a recent Tristan session involving similar leg action. I didn’t notice it at the time, but later I saw that he got — you know — into it.

    Under its new all the truth and only the truth, all the time policy, FB isn’t about to let sleeping dogs lie.

    Pretty sure Bixby’s willow is planted too close to Gabe.

    I can think of one politician who might be aroused by that pic. Bixby is the size of a small horse.

    @burnspbesq:

    Well, no shit. That’s what Kelly said it was about from the beginning. Problem is, when people are already desperate and afraid that they and their children will be murdered, it’s not much of a “deterrent” to say they’ll be separated … unless you plan to treat those kids even worse than the people trying to murder them would have so that the violent death of your children seems preferable to them being in the custody of the United States. Which is why John Kelly is a fucking monster.

    So on Giving Tuesday (or as one wag put it, ‘the day everyone asks for money but doesn’t give much’), FB’s #3 United States nonprofit by rank of funds raised was some sort of strange New Jersey Chinese expat ‘newspaper’ that exposes the ills of Communism. So FB is up to their usual goodness.

    But a belly shot of a dog? Banned, forever!
