Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

No one could have predicted…

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

He really is that stupid.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

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

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

    No site issues, just sleep issues.

    As in lack of, one each.

    This is going to be a long day.

    I woke up at 4:00. First thought was to look for my dog. Unfortunately, she joined my Angel pack on Saturday. She had not been well and dx’ed with cancer on Christmas eve.  I am without dogs for the first time in nearly 22 years – I am unsettled to say the least.

    Not sure if you’re responsible for the RSS feed, or if anyone besides me still uses a newsreader anyway instead of just scrolling Twitter, but every BJ post on my reader (Feedly) starts with a big photo of Cole’s cat staring at me. Can this be fixed?

    Strangely, I opened 3 threads on my laptop on my RSS – the first 2 gave cloudfare errors, but the last one loaded fine. Tried to refresh the first two to no avail – around 9 EST, though, I do believe.

    And I just got a 502 cloudfare error when I tried to submit this comment the first time….

    And the second time, I got Ray ID: 550d3497ab52e1ca

    Not sure if that’s helpful but a different web admin, at a different website (years ago), found that cloudfare detail useful. And I’m on my phone now, if that also impacts your determination (note – I got a rayid with each error but only copied it down once)

    @Basilisc: I also use feedly, and I don’t see Tunch every post. Only on every post without a different image (e.g. A political cartoon) , which I think is working as designed from what I’ve read in other Watergirl posts. I see the same image on feedly that pushes to Cole’s Twitter feed for each post.

    @Dog Mom: just seeing this. I am so sorry to hear this. My Poco was diagnosed with cancer on Christmas Eve too. Just called the vet and left a message that we need to pick a date to bring him in. It will be the first time I have been without a dog since 1993. Sending hugs to you. Hope to catch you on another thread.

    A few minutes ago, about 9:30ish, I tried to read BJ on my iPhone X. I got only a blank page. I tried twice and then moved to my laptop, where I found a normal BJ blog. Just FYI.

    About 7 am PT got a 502 error. Prior to that it was fine. Refreshed and got a blank page with only the BJ logo showing.
