Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

The willow is too close to the house.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

People are weird.

When we show up, we win.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

In after Baud. Damn.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

I really should read my own blog.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Sunday Night Open Thread: Sweetest Couple On The Block

I was going to wait until I had video before posting about these two, but who knows when that will be. When I go out into the yard, it disrupts the dynamic.

Penelope Pearl has a crush on Bixby (more photos here) and I melt watching her follow him around.

I mentioned in a previous thread that her hormones have hit hard. She comes to me for skritches when it gets to be too much. Which is adorable.  But her main focus has been Bixby and he’s all cool with it. I just worry about him stepping on her accidentally.

I’ll keep trying for video, because she calls after him as she goes.

    Anyone else want Penelope Pearl to hop on Bixby’s back and ride around in style?

    “What’s that?”

    Ducks, dogs and cats living together? What’s next? Those pictures are so cute.

    @mrmoshpotato: Yes, I would like to see that too, as long as it wouldn’t be too dangerous for her. I had to laugh at what you wrote because it reminded me of that video that went around a year ago. The one where a family caught the neighbor’s corgi catching a ride on their pony’s back.

    So happy to see Bixby healthy and walking normally, so he can continue his duck-charming ways. Hope you’re able to get a video at some point.

    I often think the only real justification for the human species is to teach other species to be friends not only with us, but with one another.

    There should be an “after” picture (photoshopped, of course) of some white feathers and duck bones, picked clean with the dog licking his chops….
