Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

People are complicated. Love is not.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

He really is that stupid.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“woke” is the new caravan.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Good Morning All,

We’re so lucky each and every day to see and appreciate the world around us!

Submissions from commenters are welcome at tools.balloon-juice.com

 

Sorry about Thursday/Friday, I was sick and went to bed early and forgot to post Thursday and then Friday’s I setup the post to publish a day later than desired. At least there was a bonus Saturday post!

For this last day of the year, let’s go out with something nice and blog-appropriate.  Tomorrow we return to Africa from our beloved Compte.

Have a wonderful day, and safe evening. See you next year!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Jazzman.

This morning the reflection of a rainbow came through the window of my daughter’s apartment in Lakewood, Colorado and made a bracelet on her dog Gabi’s paw. (The dog’s full name is Gabriella Regenbogen, “Regenbogen” being German for “rainbow”. Coincidence? I think not!)
Had to take a break from my usual lurking; this was too good not to share. There’s more in Lakewood than bigoted bakers–never lose hope!

Lakewood, Colorado

This morning the reflection of a rainbow came through the window of my daughter’s apartment in Lakewood and made a bracelet on her dog Gabi’s paw. Her dog’s full name is Gabriella Regenbogen, “Regenbogen” being German for “rainbow.” (Coincidence? I think not!)
I’m usually a lurker but this was too good not to share. There’s more in Lakewood than bigoted bakers. Never lose hope!

 

Thank you so much Jazzman, 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.

    When I read “nice and blog-appropriate”, I thought “It’s dogs!”

    It’s dogs!

    Or dog, anyway. You are a beautiful pup, Gabi, and rockin’ that bracelet with pride!
