Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

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

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

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

No one could have predicted…

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

In my day, never was longer.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

We will not go back.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

 

Let’s get this week started, proper. I’m quite excited about its end – I feel otmar!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter I’ll be Frank.

We took a break from tiger rides to boat on the river Ken before going into Khajuraho for the dance festival.

What an amazing kitty. The resemblance to our domestic overlords is more than cosmetic or archetypal – I’m sure as rain that my beloved kitties will turn on me once I’m “down”, it’s only a moment before I become viable food.

I plan to postpone this indefinitely! Thank you so much I’ll be Frank, 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
