Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Let me file that under fuck it.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Bark louder, little dog.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

    What building is that the front of? I think I used to see it in the opening credits for the Jack Lord Hawaii Five-O.

    I am wondering if those are balloons on the building’s front, or something else.

    We lived in Hawaii when I was little. Moved back to the mainland for first grade and have not been back since.

    @Elizabelle:

    I think they’re floats rather than balloons.

    I have a pic my old man took of the USS Missouri but it’s from a different angle. Taken from about 2,000′ feet up, the deck is crowded with all kinds of military luminaries. You can’t really make him out but Douglas MacArthur is there and so is Mamoru Shigemitsu.

    Thanks, I’m not sure how I made it up Koko Head. I’m not in bad shape, but I had to take a couple of rests on the way up. My legs were sore for the next two days after that.

    Kualoa – love the bird head on the skyline. It’s a real-life Magritte (Domain of Arnheim)
