Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

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

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

People are complicated. Love is not.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Let there be snark.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

    It is a mere 82 F here in Eng-er-land and both the cats have melted. They sit everywhere now.​

    That’s a hefty cat! Samwise’s diet has been working well and he’s at a good fighting weight, in related news.

    @randy khan: so true!

    We once had a pair of Maine Coons, Bill at 23 lbs., And Opus at 22. Neither was fat, just big.

    Even from the back, he has the look of an ancient philosopher, one of the more contemplative schools, such as the Epicureans.

    I see the lion cut is filling in nicely.

    Rosie doesn’t look especially pleased, but she’s not going anywhere. Obviously.

    Our BaBoo, a little 7 lb. grey rocket kat, was chased by a white Standard Poodle yesterday.  My partner screamed and through stuff at the poodle.  Then he closed the side gate, sigh.  I keep it closed because we had a Miniature Doberman in the hood who tried to bite me in my own yard – a midget Ve-dogu-raptor.

    BaBoo was anxious all afternoon at having seen the horrible beast of nightmares, and this morning still needed lots of petting.  It was sad to see his loss of security.

    @randy khan: The same is true of a 5 pound cat.

    Yep. Our 9-pounder routinely takes over a chair we just vacated, or the dog’s bed that he wants to sleep in, and none of us know what to do about it.

    Well, my wife does. She’s the cat person here and thinks nothing of grabbing the cat to reclaim her seat, and the cat will happily settle back down on top of her.

    But the dog and I are flummoxed and completely defeated.

    That cat is magnificent.

    I’m not really a cat person (I like other peoples’ cats) but Maine Coons could get me to consider ownership…

    That’s a lion.  Technically a type of cat, so the OP is not a typo, but he deserves the respect he has worked so hard to earn, and he will sit where he pleases.  Although, honestly, he could be the runt of the litter and still the size of a miniature chihuahua, if he were  a cat with a few years to him, he would also likely sit wherever he pleases.  Not sure focusing on size is really allowing for a full understanding of the situation.

    ETA: noticing now that most of the other comments agree with this … oh well, gave it a shot…
