Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

T R E 4 5 O N

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

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

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

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

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

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

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

On the Road and In Your Backyard

by Alain Chamot (1971-2020)|  May 29, 20185:00 am| 16 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 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!

 

Please note: the form has been fixed. I’ve received 0 form submissions before today for about three weeks except for BillinGlendale and otmar. Anything else I’ve received I’ve published, so if your submission has not been published, it was eated and will need to be re-submitted.

So, if you sent stuff in via form, please re-send. You should receive a “successful submission” message so you know it worked.

Just a simple double-dose of awesome today!

Today, pictures from valued commenter Poptartacus.

Thank you so much Poptartacus, do send us more when you can.

 

Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

 

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

    @Alain the site fixer: Thanks. The more I read comments in the blogs I follow, I notice that capital abbreviations seem to be becoming code for various groups. If you’re not part of the group you don’t get it.

    It’s been so gloomy here, that the sunrise and sunset pics were a needed boost in my mood.

    Lovely pictures, thanks.

    @Mr. Prosser: The worst is when two different groups have the same acronym for different things.

    @Major Major Major Major: It appears that GGB is an acronym for several things, so I was glad when Alain posted.
