Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

We still have time to mess this up!

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

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

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

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

Pets Are Contacting Me About The Calendar!

Hey everybody, you have 2 more days to let us know you want to be in the Pets of Balloon Juice 2022 Calendar!

The pets below were in the 2021 calendar, and some of them are wondering if they are going to be in this year’s edition.

Full disclosure, my Tucker is on that list, as are John Cole’s pets, but they too are wondering about the calendar.  So we’re not shaming, we’re just asking!

Even if you lost your beloved pet this year, they can still be in the calendar with a heart.

Meet BigG’s Kickapoo.  Isn’t she a beauty?

    To start the process, send an email to watergirl or pet-calendar, and I’ll send you the instructions and the upload link.

    Forgot to say:

    PLEASE INCLUDE THE NAMES OF ALL YOUR PETS IN YOUR EMAIL MESSAGE, ALONG WITH YOUR NYM.

    Is there a way to know if my Xavier’s pics were received?

    WG, I put my photos in DropBox a few days ago, but haven’t heard anything back – should I assume they are in your custody safe and sound, or should I have gotten some kind of acknowledgement?

    (Oscar and Jeannie.)

    Helloooo, Kickapoo! Where have you been all my life?? What a gorgeous cat!

    @CaseyL: Yes, I have them.  Last year there was an auto-acknowledgement from Dropbox, but I am guessing that isn’t happening this year?

    @WaterGirl: I also did not get an acknowledgment of receipt from the Dropbox regarding pics of Jesse but I blindly trust the process.

    I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my family’s pets since I am without any myself… I think this is the fourth calendar I have sent in pics. I plan on going to the family Thanksgiving (inshallah) where it’s been 3 years since I’ve seen my sister’s menagerie, which now includes a new cat and new dog… I’ll take lots of snaps for next year’s edition!

    @WaterGirl: cool. Trick or treating runs until then here, and ideally my daughter will go down after that…

    @WaterGirl: I didn’t get an auto-receipt, and I did a search of my email just to be sure before I asked.  Maybe some people did and some people didn’t?

    Thanks for confirming you do have their photos!

    @CaseyL: It appears that NO ONE is getting the automated receipt this year.  I am using the same dropbox account, so I had just assumed that people who get that like they did last year.  Oh well.

    @Mike E: You have the sandy and not sandy version of Freyja, right?

    Some how i also have another Freyja for someone whose nym is wombat probability cloud.  That’s not you, right?

    I just sent my e-mail about which pets want picture sent, but I haven’t sent picture. Shadow, Mouf and Meg say no thanks. StarScream says of course I want my picture in. Dobby and Ponyo also want to send theirs. Also Tassie from over the rainbow and in the archives.

  24. 24.

    WaterGirl

    October 31, 2021 at 2:02 pm

    @sab: I already found Tassie in the WordPress media archives and added that to the calendar files.

    So you just have to do the other 3 using the upload process.

    I also sent you the direct link to Tassie so you can always have access.  If you have a computer you can just drag it to your desktop.

    WG I Just got my copy of Midnight in Washington. 

    Has a day and time for the book club been set?

    WaterGirl

    October 31, 2021 at 2:32 pm

    @peggy: Yay!  No day/time yet.  I thought I would wait until the calendar deadline to try to organize that.  So you’ll see a post where we pick day and time in just a few days.

    Can someone please claim this handsome Oscar?  :-)

    A “Mike” uploaded this one, but we have a zillion Mikes, so I don’t know this handsome basset’s name or his owners nym.

    Also, this cute as a button pup has no name, and I don’t know the nym of the person who emailed this to me.  I replied to the email and got no response.

    Please claim this handsome pup!
