Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

When I was faster i was always behind.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We still have time to mess this up!

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

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

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Their shamelessness is their super power.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

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

Ladies, Gentlemen, and Jackals of All Ages: Start Your Pens, Blank Cards, Stationery, Email, and Dog Pictures

Putting the clarifying update at the top:

Apparently the cards and letters were becoming overwhelming, so Emma’s family have asked that people simply post their messages and pictures to this Facebook page:

Bella Q emailed this across to me earlier today.

There’s a little girl in Wisconsin who could use some good wishes, some cheering up, and some dog pictures. I’m sure she’ll also be happy if someone sends her a picture of their bobcat or a Balloon Juice calendar (cough, Cole, cough…).

So get those pens and blank cards out, your especially good dog pictures (yes, we know, they’re all especially good dogs!), and your emails ready and get to it.

    I did this yesterday before I found out about the Facebook page. Emma is such a sweetie and I can’t imagine how scary this has been for the whole family.

    @MomSense: Yeah, before folks popped up here to provide that info I sent off an email with 6 or 7 pictures and well wishes.

    When one arrives at ATL, on takes the underground train from the terminals to the baggage claim/arrivals area, whereupon three escalators take people up to the unsecured area where they can be greeted by friends or family or limo drivers. (Note: as often as I land here, NO ONE from the Juicetatiat ever greets me!).

    There are always wives and kids and whatnot holding signs welcoming people back home from long trips, particularly for people returning from active service.

    Tonight, there was a family holding a poster with a picture of a woman and in giant letters “WELCOME HOME FROM REHAB!”

    Struck me as a bad idea….

    This is first I’ve heard about Emma, but tomorrow is Mr. Cuba’s 100th birthday. He had asked for 100 cards; at the beginning of the week he had received around 3,000. Any updates on this, his birthday eve?

    @Mary G:

    Oh sweet. Thanks.

    Although when I saw “Sheppard AF Base,” my first thought was “Sheppard As Fuck Base? I don’t know what even that means.”

    @SiubhanDuinne: I have not heard anything more. No one tells me anything. As we can tell from none of you telling me about the Facebook request regarding Emma before I published this post!

    Can we send pics of kats? All we’ve got are kat pics… We saw lots of doggos on our walk this afternoon. If we’d only known we could have got dog pics – dozens. I’ll try some kat pics to give the doggos on the facebook something to do.

    Life is tough. Thank you dogs (and kats)!

    @Adam L Silverman:

    From Galsworthy’s Forsyte Saga. Old James, one of the senior generation, was forever complaining that nobody ever told him anything.

    (Note to self: Time to reread the FS. It’s been at least 20 years.)

    Sent Emma a pic of Murphy sliding upside down head first in the snow. Fierce guardian dog hides a secret goofball under all the fur. Thanks for the tip.
