Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

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

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

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

When we show up, we win.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The lights are all blinking red.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Republicans don’t trust women.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Today, pictures from valued commenter Kenneth Kohl.

My wife and I spent the weekend in Watkins Glen, NY to relax and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Part of that celebration was “walking the Glen”. We made it a two hour safari and it was spectacular. Nature is astounding.

Wine wasn’t bad, either.

    Test test. Le *sigh* Seems I’m on some sort of alternate-day commentability rationing.

    Nice spot, all I thought about it was there’s some sort of auto race there, isn’t there?

    @p.a.:

    Big NASCAR race there every year. Seneca Lake is beautiful and there are dozens of wineries around the lake, so many that you can’t go more than a couple of miles without passing one. Very fun to do wine tours but moderation is key.

    Wow. I want to be reality-photoshopped into your first picture so I can be there.

    I grew up in that region. Want more? Couple miles to the south is Montour falls, right at the roadside. Go to Ithaca and there are 7 different gorges you can hike. 3 in state parks (Buttermilk, Tremain, Taughhanock) and the others just right in town. Another set on at Fillmore Glen state park at the foot of Owasco lake, east of Cayuga.
