Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Second rate reporter says what?

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

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

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Everybody saw this coming.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

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

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

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

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.
