Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I really should read my own blog.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

He really is that stupid.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

We’re not going back!

White supremacy is terrorism.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

People are complicated. Love is not.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

A consequence of cucumbers

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

On the Road and In Your Backyard

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.

 

Hope folks enjoy the games today, I will unfortunately be driving, riding, and walking a lot to deal with numerous vehicle issues tomorrow and will only be able to listen (ty SiriusXM radio)

I have a great set for Monday from realbtl and you’ll just want to pick up and fly to Ireland Tuesday!

 

On that note, have a great weekend and enjoy the peace, simplicity, and gentle majesty of today’s offering. Somewhere….

Today, pictures from valued commenter Poptartacus.

Taken in March in San Francisco Bay

Half a rainbows better then none

The other half

 

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

    @Sab:

    Where in OH are you? I was born and raised in Cleveland for 30 years and escaped for the coast first chance I got.
