Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Too little, too late, ftfnyt. fuck all the way off.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Boghan and His Kittens

Apparently, what my brother’s dog really needed and wanted all his life was kittens:

According to Seth, the black kittie with the white spot on her/his chest and the one with white feet have already secured their forever homes. I will have a video up in a little bit but apparently it is processing forever.

    His kitten overlords seem to have the sitch well in hand. The very definition of creature comforts.

    I can not wait for the new site. I can not get the front page to show this post, I have to click on the tweet feed and then it still won’t show this post when I click on the BJ logo, it goes back to Adam’s post.

    New Site! New Site! New Site!

    @Ruckus: Hit ‘Refresh’ anywhere between 2 and 20 times; that (usually) does the trick for me.

    Step 2 is to sacrifice a chicken to the server gods.

    Cutest thing seen today :)

    Looking at that picture, what amazes me is how many fosterings aren’t “fails” (meaning the foster parent winds up keeping their foster babies). It would be very hard for me to take the kittens away from Boghan. That’s how I would rationalize it: “They’re bonded now, sorry. Gotta keep ’em.”

    I don’t think the costume designers at DWTS like Melissa McCarthy at all. The lime green top is really quite atrocious. You would think a top movie star would get better treatment at some fading teevee show.

    OMG OMG OMG death by cuteness.

    @Ruckus: Or go to Cole’s Twitter feed and click on the new post link. You may not be able to get comments on first try, and if you use the back tab to the previous comment that will work but there won’t bea forward tab got go back to the newer post, but you should be able to see the front page. Eventually it’ll show up on the front page of the new post… sigh, yeah how happy I’ll be too when we get the new version.

    @Adam L Silverman:

    I figure the thread below is cold, and would like to ask you a question (OT for this thread, I know) about the oil field strike: I do not understand why satellite/air surveillance/space station observations are not mentioned in this discussion. Do I misunderstand the surveillance operations in this part of the world?

    A hard refresh and chicken sacrifice.
    Could I just hit a chicken with a baseball bat and be done with both?

    @Ruckus: Do the arrows on the left and right of the post show up for you? The ones that take you to the next or previous post? If so, you can always click on the top post on the front page, then go to the next post–the one that won’t yet show up on the front page–via the arrows. That’s how I do it when the new post doesn’t show up on the front page. Sometimes it’s half an hour before a new post actually appears there.

    @Yarrow:
    Did you guys notice that I’m typing on the post that didn’t show up on the home page? Complaining about the post that I was writing on.
    The major point isn’t that I can’t get to new posts, it’s that the freaking main page doesn’t refresh about 90% of the time. And I’m ready, far freaking more than ready for the new site. No HTML editing in the comment box not withstanding a minimum of reasonable working is all I’m asking for, actually not having to sacrifice chickens or buy a baseball bat….

    If the video is just one-quarter as cute as those pics, YouTube may crash.

    Hope Boghan gets to keep at least one. Though two would be better.

    Okay, but now your brother needs more kittens. Because clearly Bogham needs them, and it would be cruel and unfair to deprive him.

    Yay, Boghan, what a good dog! I fantasize about the possibiity that what my over-sensitive, over-imaginative, over-smart rescue puggle (mostly beagle to look at) needs is a kitten or two. He adores our adult male cat, but evinces his love by squooshing Jingle to the floor and getting him wet with drool. I wouldn’t put a kitten through that, but of course the universal don’t-hurt-the-baby protocol might kick in, and the kitteh(s) might end up rulling the roost.
