Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

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

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

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

The lights are all blinking red.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

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

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Be a wild strawberry.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

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.
