Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Stay strong, because they are weak.

The willow is too close to the house.

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

So very ready.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

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

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Be a wild strawberry.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Let there be snark.

T R E 4 5 O N

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I wrote a post, but wordpress ated it.
Suffice to say, this day sucked.

Here’s Miss Hime, enjoying her reprieve from eye surgery. And Mssr Odo, just hanging out. Have at it. 

 

Miss Hime Paws
No matter what, Miss Hime is elegant.

 

I promise Odo is not mad at me.
He’s at his sullen middle aged phase

      Both cats seem to be suggesting that they want the Epstein Files released.

      Mssr  Odo will play Superman in the next remake.  He already has the laser eyes so they can save a bit on the CGI budget.

      “Today’s Celebration was Yesterday’s Persistence.”  I love that poster in the background. Also the kitties in the  photos are pretty awesome.
