Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

Republicans don’t trust women.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

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

He really is that stupid.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Motown is Joe-Town!

White supremacy is terrorism.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

    I have a floofball cat but he is only 8 months old. Judging from how he handled the neutering last week my days may be numbered…May he have the patience of Steve

    ” He is resilient and has not harbored a grudge because he feels so much better. ”

    Mr. Cole needs to state clearly whether that statement is sarcasm, or not.

    Congrats to Steve and Cole for resiliently surviving this unfortunate incident.

    Or, my sympathy to both, if Steve is taking his wrath out on Cole.

    He’s beautiful.

    I’m hoping we’re soon going to adopt. Somebody has an allergic boyfriend, so we may be taking over her two kitties in March.

    Today I trimmed my beard – no growling, except at the guy who held the door for me yesterday, “Santa first! he giggles..” :<(

    The new Kitteh decided brushing was of the devil.  Lurved it yesterday????

    Wilmers minions declared that evil Pete had sacked rural Iowa counties with Republicans to vote for him and sabotage the savior’s rightful victory!!  Now I feel like Steve.

    But I won’t hold a grudge.  Many minions will grow up one day and the bots never existed.

    Everything is fine until the Amazon delivery of Fava beans and a case of Chianti comes addressed to Steve Cole.

    My Loki looks a lot like Steve, but smaller. He usually gets massive mats in his undercoat in August and January,  which drop off in September and February. The  The dropped mats look like hand-sized tribbles. The mats develop overnight and can’t be brushed or combed out, they would have to be cut or shaved out. They have felted undercoat hair underneath, and beautiful long topcoat fur growing out of the top. The first time I saw one it scared me half to death, I thought it was a wild animal that had got in the house. For some reason he hasn’t developed any mats but a couple of small ones yet this winter, so I have my fingers crossed. I was able to clip those little ones out since they didn’t take a lot of time holding still.

    What I’m saying is, no way I could get him in for a grooming, and he’s about half Steve’s size.

    Poor Steve, the look on his face, resigned to the fact that he had to endure it.  Poor thing. Im sorry you had to go through that.  I’m glad you feel better.

    @WaterGirl:

    There is no resignation at all in that look. That look is Jack Nicholson in The Shining or Vincent D’Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket. That look is the split second before they totally went psycho.

    @mrmoshpotato: I was on the phone with Cole when they were on the way to the groomer’s, and I heard the same plaintive cries that my Mr. Bear makes over and over when we are on the way to the vet.  Absolutely distressed.  Yes, I’m a softie.

    @debbie: That’s what I thought when I saw the picture of Steve in Cole’s twitter feed earlier today. But in this one I see more steely resignation than what you are describing.  If Steve had mats, though, or matts + poop, then there really wasn’t any choice in the matter.

    Steve looks just like a bigger version of our Pepper.

     

    except Pepper would have murdered everyone in the room the first time someone touched her back leg.
