Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The words do not have to be perfect.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

In my day, never was longer.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Good morning everyone,

We’re back again to California today, but tomorrow we’ll be flying elsewhere ;)

 

 

Hi All – Long time Lurker; Daily Reader. Prompted to contribute by the shortage of garden pictures  for the Garden Chat (One of the best parts of my Sunday) but thought I might contribute here as well. DarbyDad and I live in San Diego, but make an annual trip up the coast to spend MLK weekend in Laguna Beach, CA., every year. Consider it a wind-down from the holiday stress.  Watch football; eat horrible bar food; drink beer and take long walks along the beach and through the local neighborhoods.  Also – a visit to Roger’s Garden Nursery in Corona del Mar that is a MUST if you are a plant fiend. These are pictures from the local beaches.

    Thanks for the wonderful photos of sunny beaches. While I’m in gloomy WV, daffodils are blooming in the rain and snow.

    Beautiful beach! I’m supposed to be in NorCal in a couple of weeks, and will probably go even if the retreat is cancelled, but everything feels up in the air. These pictures are incentive to go.
