Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Is trump is trying to break black America over his knee? signs point to ‘yes’.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

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

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

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

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

 

I just love flowers! In this case, a neighbor’s glory, clinging to her wrought-iron fence and enjoying all this rain.

First up, from Tom N

Where it was taken: Daejeong Five Day Market, Jeju, South Korea
When: Tues, June 6
Other notes or info about the picture: This is one of several traditional markets on Jeju; selling produce, fresh & dried seafood, clothing, housewares and, of course, more kinds of kimchi than one can imagine.

 

Looks like heaven! I bet there’s some great stall food on the outside or outer ring of the market, likely selling some of the freshest, best food you’ll eat!

 

Next up, from Ken:

Both taken in Missoula, Montana
June 2017
Poppies are just about done, and peony season started on Sunday.

 

 

Thank you so much! I’m so excited seeing so many beautiful, bright flowers.

 

And to finish things up, even more beautiful flower photos from Jeffg:

1. Campion
2. Evening primrose
3. Annual poppy
4. 4th of July rose
5. Perennial sweet pea

 

Have a great weekend all! There are so many neat pictures coming next week, I can’t wait.  Until then, travel safely and take some great photos to share if you can.

    I love my succulents, but I have missed not having real flowers due to the CA drought. Now that we’ve had a pretty good wet season, I’ve planted seeds that have been in the fridge for a couple of years. Hope a few will still sprout.

    ETA: forgot to mention how beautiful all the flowers are, and the excellent photography by all the Juicers. Ken’s pale yellow peony is to die for.

    Thanks so much for this feature, Alain. “On the Road” is a wonderful way to start the day.

    Would love to wander that market and browse for hours! And the flower pics are gorgeous. Top picture is a clematis, not a morning glory.

    Great to be able to share and I will send more. Love me some peonies. The yellow is a Tree Peony. I grabbed that since it hadn’t seen a yellow peony before either!

    Cheers,
    Ken
