Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

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

Republicans in disarray!

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

Second rate reporter says what?

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

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

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

The kid is in bed, Thurston is sleeping with her, and it is super quiet.

    What’s with three posts within seconds of each other when the last post was six hours earlier?

    Aw, that’s nice about Thurston. I think of him as the most curmudgeonly of the beasts. Although maybe he’s just kind of stoic. Rosie seems to be pretty edgy.

    We are having to adopt two new critters, my stepdaughter’s dog and cat. We already have an elderly cocker spaniel, and five cats already stressed by overcrowding. This should be fun.

    The new dog and the cocker should be fine.

    I have loved the new dog for years and wanted her. Problem is my special cat (big part siamese tuxedo) hates dogs and lets them know how he feels. Plus we are overcatted already. Our guys have been together since most of them were kittens, and they still feel overcatted.

    The next month is going to be interesting but not fun at all.

    @J R in WV: I rescued a turtle in traffic ten years ago. I could have lost fingers! Had I known then what I know now it might not have made it.
