Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

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

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

On the Road and In Your Backyard

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  December 15, 20175:00 am| 13 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,

Adam here again, Alain will be back on Monday.

This weekday feature is for Juicers who are are on the road, traveling, or just want to share a little bit of their world via stories and pictures. So many of us rise each morning, eager for something beautiful, inspiring, amazing, subtle, of note, and our community delivers – a view into their world, whether they’re far away or close to home – pictures with a story, with context, with meaning, sometimes just beauty. By concentrating travel updates and tips here, it’s easier for all of us to keep up or find them later.

So please, speak up and share some of your adventures and travel news here, and submit your pictures using our speedy, secure form. You can submit up to 7 pictures at a time, with an overall description and one for each picture.

You can, of course, send an email with pictures if the form gives you trouble, or if you are trying to submit something special, like a zipped archive or a movie. If your pictures are already hosted online, then please email the links with your descriptions.

For each picture, it’s best to provide your commenter screenname, description, where it was taken, and date. It’s tough to keep everyone’s email address and screenname straight, so don’t assume that I remember it “from last time”. More and more, the first photo before the fold will be from a commenter, so making it easy to locate the screenname when I’ve found a compelling photo is crucial.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

 

Here are some pictures of someone’s dog I took when I was in Dublin back in 2008 on a long weekend before I deployed to Iraq.

And here’s a pup at Stirling Castle.

Alain will be back tomorrow. Same Balloon Juice time, same Balloon Juice station!

One again, to submit pictures: Use the Form or Send an Email

    Where’s our morning thread?

    There was a complicated power outage here, and I’m not competent to compose posts on my second-hand Android phone.

    Just finally got our Fios connection working again, so you’ll just have to make do with *this* thread, for once!
