Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

In after Baud. Damn.

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

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

On The Road

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  July 5, 20175:00 am| 5 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

 

Summer melons on sale, Musso farms, Pueblo, Colorado

While not as amazing as the Rocky Ford cantaloupes, the ones in Pueblo are amazing, as are the peppers (pueblo chiles and the best jalapenos, so flavorful and spicy). The canaries are especially good – the free samples are like cool candy, just so refreshing after the long, hot drive there. Once you take one or two home, the melon is a welcome treat when you come in from some outside chores.

 

More from Sloane Ranger!

6 June 2017. Brussels. Say it with flowers. Advertising for a perfumery.

 

Brussels 6 June 2017. One side of Grande Place.

 

Ghent. Statue outside Ghent Railway Station.

 

I do love public sculpture, it adds so much to urban and suburban spaces.

 

Brussels 6 June 2017. Other views of Grand Place.

 

8 June 2017. Ghent. Celebrating victory of Waterloo. Note the “glass”. Very 1815!

 

Have a great day all, hope your Fourth was enjoyable!

    My husband and I were recruited for a tourist video for Ghent (in Times Square). We learned how to say “I Love Ghent” in Flemish for the video (I don’t remember how).

    Great pictures!
