Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

One way or another, he’s a liar.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The lights are all blinking red.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Second rate reporter says what?

Monday Night Open Thread: Patron and Malta

Adam sent me a quick text and asked if I would put up an open thread saying there would be no Ukraine update tonight. They will resume tomorrow.  So I went searching for some Patron and found Malta!

Another member of #Ukraine's four-legged forces. This one is called Malta and like little Patron and dozens of other service dogs, she bravely sniffs out explosives & mines etc. She's said to have a cold nose & a warm heart 🐶. https://t.co/Ytc941tkGv pic.twitter.com/Up8A9JUoGZ

I couldn’t find attribution for this one, if you figure it out in the comments, I’ll add to the post:

And video!

    Zelenskyy’s address tonight was very positive–Ukraine is really getting things done to show they are worthy and deserving of EU candidacy, and I was glad for the way he discussed the vote in favor of the Istanbul Convention, noting that this is about protecting all people from domestic violence and discrimination.

    Never visited Malta but did go to the island of Majorca, Spain in 1984. Where we had a small oil spill that totally ruined my fresh khaki uniform.

    @Mike in NC: I spent a happy couple of weeks in Malta years ago. Valetta is amazing. A curious thing was watching the film Popeye with Robin Williams being filmed there. That and the use of prickly pear as hedges, apparently it’s the only goat proof form of fencing/hedging

    Dmitry Muratov, The Russian journalist who won the Nobel Peace Prize last year, auctioned his medal to benefit UNICEF operations in Ukraine, and the winning bid was $103 million! As the second highest bid was $17 million, someone basically just made a $100 million donation to unicef.

    Belgium Malinois.  One of the smartest and strongest dog breeds.  If you have a few minutes sometime check out some of the training clips on Utube.  Unbelievably strong and agile.
