Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

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

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

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

White supremacy is terrorism.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

The lights are all blinking red.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

A glorious tradition in DC – thank you Japan! – it’s often a magical, sensuous entreaty from Spring. I am so thankful for this submission, it really is a wonderful, glorious thing.  I wish all of you could smell those fragrant blossoms as they drop and scatter on the wind.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures; hopefully this will spur a lot of cenote submissions from you divers out there!

    My son and dil vacationed in Tulum last year and loved it. The pictures make me wish that I were on the beach right now.

    My own are 30 and 32. That baby pic resurrected a distant memory or 2 and brought a tear to my eye. Makes me all the more anxious for the birth of my 2nd granddaughter in August.

    Dived no less than a dozen cenotes between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen – some famous, some not so much, and one that I was one of only 5 divers who ever entered. Now I’ve got to upload some cenote dive video to a linkable site…

    @Alain the site fixer: Thanks–I’d gone back and re-read several times, trying to figure out what I had missed and where I’d missed it.
