Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

In after Baud. Damn.

You cannot shame the shameless.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans do not trust women.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

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.
