Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

The revolution will be supervised.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Second rate reporter says what?

After roe, women are no longer free.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Bark louder, little dog.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Not all heroes wear capes.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

    Sweet chunky Mr. B’s amazed by the huge outpawing of interest in him – over 3000 applications! He has a foster (maybe forever) home now – but so many other great adoptable cats need you. Here’s a thread of ours. Let’s make it go viral too. Adopt and RT for Mr. B and all the cats! pic.twitter.com/063Mtk0qTP

To those who like or love the creatures, more power to ya; ’tain’t my bag, I’ve always found them downright creepy and odious.

    There’s a small pet store next to the dry cleaner I use. They have three stacked cages where they have a rotating line up of cats/kittens from a foster organization they work with. Since we have a cat who won’t tolerate another cat in the house I always stop in to get my kitten fix. I then go home and tell her all about the adorable kitties I’ve seen.

    These pictures are an equivalent of that. Thanks for posting it.

    I have a feral cat that gave birth to a litter of five kittens in my basement ceiling. I had to tie off the umbilical cord and cut it with heat sterilized scissors to separate the placenta from two of the kittens. Mommy gave birth to these two too close entrance of her little cave and was too scared to take care of them, plus there was some scrap drywall in the way. All five kittens appear to be healthy and nursing.

    If it wasn’t for the newborn kittens meowing I wouldn’t know she was there. I’ve managed to get her litterbox trained and she eats the food I put out but I never see her. I called the local SPCA and have an appointment to borrow a live trap and get her spayed in six weeks.

    @Jay: I’ve trained ICE officers. I did an inservice for the Tampa field office in December 2012. One of my former students, a US Army Reserve colonel, was on of the three Deputy Supervisory Special Agents in Charge in that office at the time. It was a real mixed group. The suit and tie officers like my former students, all with advanced degrees doing long term investigations into trafficking and smuggling. The door kickers who we think of when we think of ICE. And the support staff, including analysts and public affairs personnel. I was there to teach about how to do engagements and establish relationships and rapport with the communities that ICE has to deal with so that you don’t have to kick in so many doors. The suit and tie folks and the support folks, especially the public affairs specialists, were thrilled. The door kickers were polite because they got a free continental breakfast and didn’t have to be doing paperwork or other stuff because they were attending the inservice.

    Those kitties are adorable, absolute freaking adorable. If my Penelope didn’t dislike cats so much, I’d get another kitty. Every time the neighbor’s cat, Midnight, gets on our fence, Penny freaks out and goes after her. I adopted her from the local shelter in 2017, and by the time I did, she couldn’t deal with cats at all. If I’d had her from the time she was born, she would have been used to living with a kitty, but it’s too late now.
