Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

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

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Come on, man.

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

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

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Let’s finish the job.

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

“woke” is the new caravan.

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

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

We were rescued by my dog Juno about 6 years ago and, even at the age of 13, she is always up for a walk, especially at about 6am.

A couple of weeks ago, on a beautiful clear Spring morning, we went down to Point Lonsdale, just a short drive from home. Point Lonsdale sits at the entrance to Port Philip Bay with Melbourne at its head and a narrow entrance with Point Nepean on the east at the tip of the Mornington Peninsula and Point Lonsdale on the west. The entrance is known as The Rip and ships heading for the Port of Melbourne need a pilot to enter and exit.

    While the photos are beautiful, most especially the Lighthouse shot, as I was scrolling, was concerned there would be no doggo pic. Silly me.

    yes beautiful pictures all (i think i like the rock pools most but it’s hard), but certainly Juno is the most charming.

    Our Juno is a yellow lab/golden retriever mix. There is something about dawn that is different from sunset. Thank you to Watergirl for pulling these together every week, it’s a beautiful way to start each day.

    What extraordinary sunrises.  These pics are so beautiful and calming.  My favorite is the one with the pier off to the right in the distance.

    I’m not sure what I expected Juno to look like, but was amused to see a scruffy, mutty looking dog who is probably filled with sand and loving it.

    Nice pictures.

    Lovely reminders to be peaceful, especially the one WaterGirl mentioned, with the pier at a distance off to the right.

    The rock pools are really cool, not to mention Juno.

    Thanks for a nice start to the day.

    Beautiful start to the day. I’ve only been to Australia once, but it is one of my favorite places. I hope I can go back some day.

    I was thinking, “What lovely photos, but incomplete,” and then I got to the final one! Thank you so much for sharing!

    I obviously should have just sent in 7 pictures of Juno. She’s a real Balloon Juice dog. I read a post about 7-8 years ago about the joys of adopting an older dog. We’d been looking at the rescue centres for a 1-2 year old, then my daughter sent me a notification of an adoption day at a local pet shop. Juno was 7 years old, very timid and no-one had put their name down for her. We ended up bringing her home that day and she’s been with us nearly 7 years. She still insists on a long walk in the morning and another in the evening so still pretty fit for an old ‘un. I’m waiting for her to slow down.
