Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Hot air and ill-informed banter

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

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

You cannot shame the shameless.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Bark louder, little dog.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

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

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

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

I really should read my own blog.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

Hello, a late-ish addition to the No Kings day protests. I know there may be too many pics, but so many great signs and people were there!

Everett is a blue-collar town north of Seattle; home of Funko, Boeing, and a large Navy base; it’s purplish though more to the blue end. Indivisible organized the day.

We had an excellent turnout at the courthouse- several thousand people showed up & then walked to the main thoroughfare and lined both sides of the street for over a mile 😊 It was very encouraging!  I am recovering from my first bout of Covid, so I had to skip the second part, but I’m told it was well received-lots of enthusiastic honking. I did wear my protest earrings, which always get lots of love.

Something I noticed at this protest that was different from the one’s earlier this year was that I kept seeing men in what I think of as right-winger t-shirts- “Come and Take It” with a gun pic, or “I’m not PC, I say Merry XMas and God Bless America” – but they were out carrying signs and were all super pissed off at DT.  Caused me cognitive dissonance at first, but left me hopeful!

    @Dan B: I’ll have to send in a pic of Ms. Vivian – she’s been posing very prettily on the regular. She’s a diva, in the best way :)

    @WaterGirl: Yes.  Mike’s sister’s Pixie Bob.  She was terrorizing our little boy and at a standoff with our big girl.  She had not been around other cats and is happier as an only cat

    The cat Satby had given her last summer got a liver tumor so Vivian was a good choice for Cindy, and vice versa.  It was nearly instant love.

    There’s no such thing as too many pics.
