Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Bark louder, little dog.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

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

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

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

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

?Send in your holiday pics, everybody!   We’ll run them from now until New Year’s Eve. ?

? All holidays matter. ?

It’s Monday, so it’s only right that we start with Albatrossity.  Welcome to 1952!

Christmas Card (1952), Helen, John, David

HinTN – it’s not clear whether he’s the oldest or the youngest.

This is Dan B. c.1955, Wadsworth,, Ohio.

From the left my father, behind the baby tree my brother, me, my grandfather.

Something Fabulous celebrating Purim
in her Mom’s lap, with her Dad’s Mom, her Dad, her brother.

circa: 1970 or so?

One of the big hits from last year:
I think of this as “Do not even think about fucking with my sister, bub!”
It’s not just the look, it’s the body language.


Raven, of course.  But I’ll bet you knew that already.

    Remind me how to send pictures. I’m sorting through all the stuff in my mom’s house and I found a series from 1959 – 1964 with my brother and I on Santa’s lap. So cute (if I do say so myself).

    @evap: You can send each as an attachment or import them into iPhoto and use the “share” function to email them as jpg’s.

    How to convert PDF to JPG using Acrobat:

    1. Open the PDF in Acrobat.
    2. Click the Export PDF tool in the right pane.
    3. Choose Image as your export format, and then choose JPEG.
    4. Click Export. The Save As dialog box is displayed.
    5. Select a location where you want to save the file, and then click Save.

    My theory of Manchin, should anyone care to know: he’s a rather stupid man who doesn’t understand half the things he talks about and has convinced himself that he’s right to the point where he can’t handle anything that demonstrates the contrary. That’s what all the nonsense on Fox News was about – he’s refusing to talk any further because he can’t face the fact that he is flat wrong on matters into which he’s invested his credibility and self-image as a brave truth-teller to a foolish caucus.

    @Morzer:  Maybe but I think the $500K he gets from his coal investments outweighs the $174K he gets to represent his WV people.

    @Rich2506:  In case you were trying to add a photo, and for everyone else who might…

    You aren’t able to add a photo to the comments, unless it’s a link to a photo site or something.  Please use the On the Road form if you have several or send photos to my nym at balloon-juice.com

    @evap: Looks like Raven has all the details covered.

    If you have a whole series, which would be awesome, it’s best to use the On the Road form.

    If you are just sending one or two or three, you can send photos to my nym at balloon-juice.com

    I will add that .jpg or .png is what we can put up on Balloon Juice.

    edit: and I see that Raven got to that, also.  thank you Raven!

    All holidays matter! :)

    Especially Purim, to my grandmother Esther, the holiday for which (whom?) she was named. So fun to remember this early happy time with my family. Thanks everyone for sharing theirs!
