Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

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

Stay strong, because they are weak.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

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

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

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Consistently wrong since 2002

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The kid is in bed, Thurston is sleeping with her, and it is super quiet.

    What’s with three posts within seconds of each other when the last post was six hours earlier?

    Aw, that’s nice about Thurston. I think of him as the most curmudgeonly of the beasts. Although maybe he’s just kind of stoic. Rosie seems to be pretty edgy.

    We are having to adopt two new critters, my stepdaughter’s dog and cat. We already have an elderly cocker spaniel, and five cats already stressed by overcrowding. This should be fun.

    The new dog and the cocker should be fine.

    I have loved the new dog for years and wanted her. Problem is my special cat (big part siamese tuxedo) hates dogs and lets them know how he feels. Plus we are overcatted already. Our guys have been together since most of them were kittens, and they still feel overcatted.

    The next month is going to be interesting but not fun at all.

    @J R in WV: I rescued a turtle in traffic ten years ago. I could have lost fingers! Had I known then what I know now it might not have made it.
