Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

We still have time to mess this up!

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

The National Guard is not Batman.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

This really is a full service blog.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Stand up, dammit!

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

    @greynoldsct00:

    Actually, no, that’s a nickname that comes from the fact I have long legs and arms and sometimes sit strangely at the computer desk.

    I’ve got parrots.

    Any pet is fine, and I can resize pics that are too big.

    And yes, use the name you use in the comments. No on will know who the hell you are if you use your real name.

    If anyone is looking for the best cat comb to rid your cat of loose fur get a FURminator. It is the best comb/brush I’ve ever used.

    My sister has one, and swears by it. By the time she’s done, you could build a new pet out of the fur it gets out.

    What is my daily limit, John?
    I’ve got 5 fur kids (well, 6 if I include photos of Walter Kitty, RIP).
    And 987,065,987 photos.
    Of each.
    ?
    A big ol’ Sarah shout out on the Furminator. One of my very long-haired cats is apparently 99% undercoat. When I use it on her in the summer she’s nearly bald. Can use on dawgs too.
