Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

We will not go back.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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,

On The Road and In Your Backyard is a weekday feature spotlighting reader submissions. From the exotic to the familiar, please share your part of the world, whether you’re traveling or just in your locality. Share some photos and a narrative, let us see through your pictures and words. 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

ter 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.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

Just to clear up any misconceptions, otmar’s submission will be Friday. So sorry for any confusion!

Today, pictures from valued commenter Zinsky.

I’m in beautiful Costa Rica where they don’t waste their people’s tax money on worthless less shit like the military. (Yeah, I know the military supposedly protects our “freedom” and “liberty” and other nebulous, high-minded sounding falsehoods – get real!) The Trump budget reflects how grossly distorted American priorities have become when we spend more on upgrading our nuclear arsenal to eradicate all life on Earth and gut programs that affect children’s health and making sure our people have adequate nutrition. Gross and sick – just like Trump!

Loving life in a warm, sane place!

 

Thank you so much Zinsky, 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
