Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

T R E 4 5 O N

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

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

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

Petty moves from a petty man.

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Everybody saw this coming.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Giving up is unforgivable.

On The Road

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

 

Even more from Rlchina   大芒果!

Other notes or info about the picture:

the Mrs. and the hotel cat is my favorite picture…I set it as background on computers in all the places we stayed…..

I recommend train travel and the “lesser” sites to get a true favor of where ever you go…our best moments have come away from the must see tourist places (with a few exceptions Siem Reap for example)…

 

Apologies for the sidewards-ho pictures. WordPress isn’t letting me rotate them and I’m tired and brain is off. So please, everybody….one…two…three. it’s just a (neck) turn to the left.

 

I’m once again a bit spooked by both DemocraticUnderground and FreeRepublic being down. I implore you to ensure your precious data is backed up, and that you have updated machines and security software. It’s serious and will be forever.

 
Travel safe everyone, and please send in more pictures. I’m getting close to my last reserve, so folks on the road or even at home, please share your world!

    Yes, we haven’t heard from greennotGreen’s sister since the evening before yesterday, have we? The update that Cheryl front paged?
    Continued strength to that devoted family and peace to greennotGreen!

    @satby: Scanned the threads for “green” (since yesterday morning’s thread). Nothing from her family.

    They all continue to be in our thoughts. And I hope green knows how badly Trump has stepped on his dick. Special prosecutor. Take that!

    No pix, however a pleasant interlude spent over an iced tea with erudite and savvy commenter Hkedi [Kang T. Q.] on Wednesday afternoon.

    @satby

    Happy natal anniversary! May the day be as pleasingly stunning as frozen soap bubbles.

    Alain,

    I have edited 73 pix from Italy trip, and titled them with meaningful names. In the past when I send named pics, they just get posted w/o any identifying information.

    How do you want information to post with the photos? I see that many/most photos get some sort of descriptive information. I’m happy to send a short description of the trip, where we were, what we saw, etc.

    I don’t think I’m able to send the pics embedded into an article, as Yahoo email limits the size of attached files. I have sent Zipped bundles of photos in the past, and I don’t know if text with embedded photos will compress and unpack well – I am happy to try if you like.

    Any advice gratefully accepted!

    @satby: Happy birthday to you. I hope you have a nice cake, or at least some cupcakes in your immediate future.
