Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

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

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

No one could have predicted…

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

On The Road

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  March 24, 20175:00 am| 6 Comments

This post is in: On The Road, Open Threads, Readership Capture

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

Have a great weekend and travel well, for those of you on the road.

    The pictures are beautiful. I know that the Nixon library is a place, but I don’t think that I will ever go, so thanks for the pictures.

    Pictures of the beach, any beach are always welcome.?

    Great pics. I love this feature.

    Went to a musical program in Nixon Library Auditorium a few years ago. Haven’t seen rest of the spread.

    If you look closely you can see that helicopter on the White House lawn. He flew right over the march and was given many a “Rockefeller Salutes”!
