Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

T R E 4 5 O N

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

This fight is for everything.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

A consequence of cucumbers

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

So many bastards, so little time.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The words do not have to be perfect.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

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

This is Murrey:

From commenter CliosFanBoy:

This little guy needs a home quick! He is in the Dayton, Ohio  area. My cousin told about him. A friend of hers adopted him but decided she can’t keep him as she  lost her old dog too recently. So she is going to return him to the shelter. It’s a kill shelter though and my cousin is frantic to save him. Apparently he’s a sweet little guy and house broken.  Can anyone in the SW Ohio area help? My cousin would take him but her dog is the jealous type.

His name is Murrey. He is about 2, chipped, neutered, well behaved, house broken, smart. Please, if you can’t adopt him can you help us find a rescue group in the area to help.  Thanks.

If you live in the Dayton area, or other areas somewhat near Dayton in Ohio or West Virginia and you think you can help or know of someone who might be able to, please sound off in the comments. CliosFanBoy will be checking in to see what you all come up with to help out this exceptionally good boy.

No pressure!

    So the “friend” can’t keep him so returns him to a kill shelter? They can’t even find another shelter in the area? What is wrong with people??

    Oh boy! Can we get a couple of drivers to drive him closer to me? With whatever paperwork they have on him? I can meet someone on Sunday. Somewhere 1/2 way to S.Bend would be great.

    My board president will kill me, I just committed to a six month German shepherd yesterday. But I know she’ll be ok with it if I foster him.

    And you haven’t had a chance to drop the film rolls off at the developer. We understand.

    I am too far away to do anything but chip in to help with transport. I would take him if I was anywhere close. He looks a lot like my late scraggly little terrier mix Dudley.

    We’ve already committed to rescue a mom dog and one of her puppies from a neighbor in about 8 weeks – dad is a Great Pyrenees guard dog for a flock of high end dairy goats. Mom dog was abandoned by neighbors of theirs, pups are 4 or 5 weeks old now. Babies my become large?

    @mrmoshpotato: He’s beautiful, solid black and rambunctious as hell. A friend took him from a backyard breeder because he was being neglected, but she can’t keep a potentially huge dog in her 2 bedroom condo; she’s not even supposed to have pets at all and she has cats. So she called me.
    It never ends.

    Does this baby still need help? I’m in Youngstown, but can check with my rescue to see if there’s anyone in the area who might help him.

    @Donna: Potentially. Satby has offered to foster if someone can get Murrey half way to her. I’ve emailed CliosFanBoy and Satby directly to put the two in touch. What we might need, if your rescue group has the capability, is assistance arranging the transport.

    These posts are so heart wrenching. Until we get the new post with the new family that is. Pushing energy for that to happen.

    This is why, even when certain people drive me nuts, I stay here. I love you guys. Also in for transport costs.

    I can help with driving on Sunday, or I can foster him for a little bit here in Columbus if we need more time to get him to Satby.

    @J R in WV: My Murphy is a 9 YO Pyr/Lab mix with possibly some German Shepherd thrown in for good measure. (who knows? She came from Newfy rescue last year–somebody said she was Border Collie x Newf.. uh, nope!). Anyhow she’s about 85 lbs at her ideal weight–kind of like a very large, very furry lab. Coat care is serious commitment, just like with Pyrs, Saints or Newfs. Smart, loudmouth (Pyr trait), sweet but not a cuddler.

    Also–I’m in for transit costs for the little guy if needed.

    @Adam L Silverman: I just sent you a link to our local no kill shelter group – about an hour from Dayton, and I bet he’d go fast from there. And they know lots of folks who’ll foster.

    @O. Felix Culpa: Of course she is!

    Murrey looks a bit like my own extremely mixed-breed Murray! With 3 dogs and a cat I am maxed out in terms of pets, but will chip in for transport.

    @columbusqueen:

    Yay!! Let us know if you need dough.

    @satby:

    Tell us where to send money. If columbusqueen gives him uo after a little fostering. Or TaMara’s Columbus friend doesn’t come through.

    How could anyone not want that pup. I’m 1000 miles away, sitting next to my calm fine, but dying cat, and thinking, gee, maybe I need a dog. (Answer: No, have 3 other cats.)

    ETA: Lost her dog too recently? Sorry, you adopt a dog, you step up. You don not return him to be killed so you can grieve a little linger. We’re rescuing that dog.

    My cousin is fostering him now. He gets along so far with her elderly cranky little furball and with their cat. No idea on kids but he’s a friendly little guy. I will forward the emails I’ve gotten to my cousin. My wife and I would take him, but we just lost our Sonia two weeks ago and it’s just too soon. Come semester’s end in May we’ll look for a companion for our little weiner dog, preferably a calm, older female.

    I “fostered” an Anatolian Shepherd starting last July. Well, fostering turned to keeping (of course). Anatolians, like most livestock guard dogs, are independent and willful and at 2 years old, he had little training. There were so very many days I just wanted to give him back but knew these dogs that bounce back and forth face tougher odds with each return. So now it’s March. He’s still independent and willful and his training is …… a work in progress. There are moments I still want to wring his neck, but he’s a loving, goofy guy who just needs more work. Of course, if he pooped in the house when I get home from work, we’re going to have another one of our talks. ;)

    @cliosfanboy:

    Props to your cousin. Assume that means pup out of danger now.

    To everyone else, sorry about drunken sailor level spelling on my post above. One hand on iPad not working out typing wise.

    @Adam L Silverman:

    Maybe later, as the only wine in the house is a nice bottle of Schramsberg, which, while chilled, I am saving to toast something worth toasting.

    But considering running out to pick up some value-priced Cava to toast Murray getting settled when we get the report and start the funding as needed.

    Also, landlocked. but you never know when my ship will come in.

    @Eric NNY: Well done, you! May training proceed nicely.

    @MazeDancer: “transport costs” probably wouldn’t be much since it’s only a few hours away, but sounds like a closer solution may be found. He’s a cutie, so we’ll collectively get him somewhere safe!

    @Steeplejack:

    My “value-priced Cava” is Conde de Caralt (the gold label, not the other one). About $11 around here.

    Mine’s 10, but willing to upgrade. Live in Cava challenged boonies, but will look into your rec.Thanks.

    @Ramalama:

    Climate change coming in hard…

    30 miles from the Hudson River. Who knows what the future will bring.

    He’s a cutie, so we’ll collectively get him somewhere safe!

    @MazeDancer: Oh, come on – sounds like you’re full up on cats, and every cat needs a dog of their own, although I’m sure your cats would be willing to share one between them.

    I had – and continue to have – extremely uncharitable thoughts about the person who thoughtlessly brought this poor dog home and then threw him back out. Grrr.

    @karen marie:

    Not ruling out a dog. One day. Far away.

    Problem is I would worry it was lonely. And needs another dog.

    Also, spending thousands of dollars a year for the past 4 years to watch cats die of cancer – no chemo, just the diagnosis, bloodwork, CBD oil, xrays, ultrasound – is waking me up to maybe I can’t really afford more pets.

    Little kids down the street told me about a dog apparently left behind when the owners for evicted from their house; the kids were feeding it through the fence.I think I have seen people coming late at night and the dog looks to be in decent shape, so I am now stalking the house to see if they’ve been coming back to feed the dog. Otherwise I have to call animal control, I can’t legally just snatch the dog from the yard. Though I certainly feel like it. It really never ends.

    @satby: I will never understand how people can just leave their animals behind. I have been with all of my guys for their entire lives. It just boggles my mind.
