Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

No one could have predicted…

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

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

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

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

Come on, man.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

    I’m getting, not a kitten, but a cat tomorrow!

    Loki has been so sad since his life-long buddy died two months ago, and so lonely. He lost a lot of weight (almost a third of his body weight), but he’s gained most of it back now, and seems to be on the mend. The only thing wrong now is that, when we go to bed, there’s no one to play with. So he walks around the house singing his play song, and no one answers, and no one ambushes him around a corner. Something had to change. I went to the local last chance rescue, and they have a very friendly, very playful one-year-old who really seems to like other cats (I watched him draw out an old guy who is scared of cats and people but warmed up to Artie). We’ve set up an isolation room, and we’re bringing him home tomorrow. I really hope this is the solution to everyone’s problems and hopes, all around.

    Just heartbreaking, so glad he is going to have a new friend.

    @WaterGirl: I never knew a cat could grieve like this. And Loki is 13 going on 2, a real kitten at heart. I really hope  this one year old little guy works his magic. I really think he will.

    @MagdaInBlack:

    @Joy in FL:

    @scribbler:

    Thanks to all for good wishes. I’m anxious and excited after a really hard two months. Well, 2 1/2 counting Reilly’s final illness.

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): Please keep us updated! I so hope Loki accepts a new buddy – once they get through the hissing/spitting/growling and swatting at each other ritual!

    @KayInMD (formerly Kay (not the front-pager)): cats definitely grieve. We got Asimov so Heisenberg could have a buddy after his brother Schrodinger died. Then Heisenberg died and we got Cygnus so Asimov could have a buddy. This attempt is ongoing, but we’re hopeful.

    @WaterGirl: 5 pups.  These are the brown ones.

    The other two are very hard to photograph. Effectively tubes of black. Really really really black.
