Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Petty moves from a petty man.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

I can not stop watching this. Look at his eyes.

He is not amused:

Steve's Excellent Grooming Adventure

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

    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.

    Steve needs a pal.

    I bet Mongkol a 61-year-old former logging elephant would be his pal.

    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.

    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.

    You did that to Steve in the winter or is this old video?  Or is that just a butt cut?

    @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.

    @John Revolta: That made me laugh!

    Upon further consideration, though, I am not sure I heard John’s voice at the same time as Steve’s plaintive cries.
