Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Republicans in disarray!

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Bark louder, little dog.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

This blog will pay for itself.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The revolution will be supervised.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

In my day, never was longer.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Tick tock motherfuckers!

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

The words do not have to be perfect.

We’ll be taking my thoughts and prayers to the ballot box.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

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

Good Morning

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Stephen Benson.

We are famous for our hummingbirds in Palm Springs. We’ve also been going through a series of harsh winter storms. The first time in recorded temperatures that we have gone over 90 days without reaching 80 degrees. This morning I was out by my feeders and got this little guy. That’s a male Costa’s Hummingbird, approaching the feeder.

Palm Springs, California

Along with many other things, my town is famous for hummingbirds. We’ve been going through a severe storm period where we have gotten over four years average rainfall in two months. This morning, I see this guy.

 

Thank you so much Stephen Benson, 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.

    I love hummers! We’re having record seasonal low temps here in the Midwest as well. It will be some time before the tiny ones arrive in my “garden” (hard to think of it that way, as it’s many inches deep under a blanket of snow and ice).
