Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

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

Let there be snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

This blog will pay for itself.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Second rate reporter says what?

No one could have predicted…

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Prediction: the GOP will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he were already spoken for, but this is definitely of interest to this blog.

OMG, big boi Mr. B is a CHONK. He’s a chonk of a chonk. He redefines the term. Can you guess how much he weighs? More importantly, can you give him a home?

    When Lil Bit was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia there was a site called Meisha’s Hope named after a pup that had died from the disease. If a dog lived a year after diagnoses they were eligible to be the cover dog and Lil Bit made it. The site was connected with the Morris Animal Foundation and we still give to them now and then. As a side note, Morris the Cat belonged to Stuart Kennels in Lombard. IL and I was friends with the family. I’ll skip the Morris stories, it was the early 70’s!

    I’m afraid to weigh my cat. She likes to eat and I like my kitties chonky. She’s probably pushing 16-18 lbs now, but she’s solid.

    The lady at the cat coalition was “concerned” about us adopting a kitten because my cat was fat and apparently that means we’re bad parents.

    Can somebody ‘splain to me………….

    NEW YORK (Reuters) – The New York City Comptroller said on Thursday that the United States Tennis Association (USTA) had under-reported millions in gross revenue, days before the start of the U.S. Open, the organization’s marquee event and final Grand Slam of the year.
    Under the terms of its lease with the city, according to the comptroller, the USTA pays the city “one percent of its net gross revenues in excess of $20 million”, on top of a $400,000 yearly base rent.

    What the hell is “net gross” revenues??

The 35 lb one….might get a lil squeemish. My cats…..it wouldn’t matter. One cat is sweet and nice and the other is a butt head that none of the other critters like.

    @John Revolta:

    So how is that different from “gross”?

    Gross is literally all revenues earned regardless of whether or not you had to give some of it back later. Its the starting point of determining your actual income.

    Net income is in practical terms what money you actually have on hand (not literally) after selling stuff and paying all the bills you had to incur to make those sales.

    @TenguPhule:

    Sometimes when you buy stuff from a store, you’re not satisfied and want to return it for a refund.

    The store gross revenue counts the original sale only.

    Net gross counts the original sale but also factors in that you got your money back, so in effect the store actually didn’t make any money.

    Here’s the relevant text from the email:

    Perhaps you’ve seen online photos and videos of drones with attached guns, bombs, fireworks, flamethrowers, and other dangerous items. Do not consider attaching any items such as these to a drone because operating a drone with such an item may result in significant harm to a person and to your bank account.
    Operating a drone that has a dangerous weapon attached to it is a violation of Section 363 of the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act enacted Oct. 5, 2018. Operators are subject to civil penalties up to $25,000 for each violation, unless the operator has received specific authorization from the Administrator of the FAA to conduct the operation. “Dangerous Weapon” means any item that is used for, or is readily capable of, causing death or serious bodily injury.

    someone in the chonky thread mentioned that he must eat a lot of lasagne. which reminds me of a story a co-worker told me. she had an exchange student from a small asian country staying with her, i can’t remember which country. the student’s parents came to the US to visit, so my co-worker made dinner for them. lasagne. apparently at dinner the parents were staring at the lasagne, not eating. finally, the student asked them what was up. they said they thought lasagne was cat food, because of garfield! they were fine after they were assured it’s actually people food in the US, lol. it makes complete sense if you’ve never eaten it before and only have seen it because a cartoon cat eats it. this co-worker isn’t a BS-er so i think she’s sincere about it.

If they had known what they were doing, had the equipment for Real Time Control, and commercial grade drones … 50 kilos of C4 make BIG bang! … they could have caused some serious damage.

    @zhena gogolia: My previous mutt Miss Moxie hid food for a rainy day, but she trusted my son and let him know where she hid the leftovers. It was quite interesting, because he would visit and ask. She never ever let me know where she was hiding scraps.

    Back in the old days at USC, a frat boy was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon for using a slingshot to fire a frozen grapefruit at passers-by.

    Jayzuz, that’s a lotta cat!

    Like the color scheme, though. Matching jammies for the lucky adopting family?

    Somebody dumped a BIG dog on CA 50 and the CHP picked him up and brought him to safety. He’s now up for adoption. Settle down, TaMara!

    @lurker dean: lol Decades ago my son came home from middle school and said his teacher ate dog food for snacks. I asked further questions and discovered that she ate plain mini rice cakes which at the time were snacks for my dogs. I can relate.
    hmmm Maybe I’ll share the story with his wife…

    He is quite a boi. Having dealt with kitty weight issues, I was at first wondering whether his thyroid functioning had been tested, but just looking at him I’d say he’s a cross between a Maine Coon and a Norwegian Forest Cat, with some miscellany thrown in.

    @ruemara: my bad timing missed all your swearing in reports other than having your flag swiped. I just want you to know how grateful I am that you’ve thrown your lot in with us Americans, we’re lucky to have you. I hope there was joy, delicious cake, voter registration and the offer of providing you with a flag still stands.
    That big kiki is big and I hope he gets the lovingest of homes.

    Our Miss Priss (34 pounds) and Pippin (31 pounds) were rescue siblings. She lived to be 11; he made it to 18. They were on diet food from age 1 on and no table scraps. She was 30 inches nose to end of tail; his was 35 inches. He, however, could leap from the floor to your shoulders. You would brace yourself when he crouched to leap.
    Our latest rescue pair are 8 and 9 pounders. What a transition.

    Andy Ngo was right there as Patriot Prayer planned the violent attack, but he didn’t do anything to try to stop them from carrying it out. Even after the riot, he never said or reported anything (publicly) about Patriot Prayer planning to incite violence.https://t.co/aqcoobpJkr— Caroline Orr (@RVAwonk) August 22, 2019

    Anyone curious what happened after Trump blamed Iran for trying to blow up the Front Altair and Kokuka Courageous on June 13 2019..and everyone called bullshit? Yep. Nothing. Yet the media inserts the Iran attack meme into every story about shipping risk https://t.co/py1wJA1SJu pic.twitter.com/0FOYop8YuJ— Robert Young Pelton (@RYP__) August 21, 2019

    I love him. I just love him. (Alas, my dog would not appreciate the company. )

    Anybody needs help $$ with transport (or advice on the harnesses we use to lift older Newfies when their hips start to give out :) ) I’m in.

    Love that cat.
