Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

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

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

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.
